Would “hot blooded” be good or bad? 🤔

I guess if your temperature is 103 then it’s bad, unless you’re a Foreigner.

There is a quote I like by famous character actor and certified psychopath Klaus Kinski who once said to his audience (translation mine):

If only you were hot! Or if only you were cold! But you are lukewarm, and I spit on you!
