[00:16.00] WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.
[00:18.78] Cold weather has a great effect
[00:23.32] on how our minds and our bodies work.
[00:26.82] Maybe that is why there are
[00:30.20] so many expressions
[00:31.81] that use the word cold.
[00:34.53] For centuries,
[00:36.07] the body's blood has been linked
[00:38.96] closely with the emotions.
[00:42.05] People who show no human emotions
[00:45.68] or feelings, for example,
[00:47.80] are said to be cold-blooded.
[00:50.89] Cold-blooded people act
[00:54.22] in cruel ways.
[00:56.39] They may do brutal things to others,
[00:59.82] and not by accident.
[01:03.33] For example, a newspaper says
[01:07.84] the police are searching
[01:09.95] for a cold-blooded killer.
[01:13.05] The killer murdered someone,
[01:15.87] not in self-defense,
[01:18.23] or because he was reacting
[01:20.56] to anger or fear.
[01:22.57] He seemed to kill for no reason,
[01:25.95] and with no emotion,
[01:28.83] as if taking someone's life
[01:31.67] meant nothing.
[01:33.42] Cold can affect other parts of the body.
[01:38.31] The feet, for example.
[01:40.44] Heavy socks can warm your feet,
[01:45.02] if your feet are really cold.
[01:47.34] But there is an expression
[01:49.96] -- to get cold feet
[01:52.68] -- that has nothing to do
[01:54.65] with cold or your feet.
[01:57.64] The expression means being afraid
[02:02.11] to do something you had decided to do.
[02:06.04] For example, you agree
[02:09.08] to be president of an organization.
[02:11.66] But then you learn that
[02:14.69] all the other officers have resigned.
[02:17.17] All the work of the organization
[02:20.72] will be your responsibility.
[02:23.48] You are likely to get cold feet
[02:27.08] about being president
[02:29.29] when you understand the situation.
[02:31.80] Cold can also affect your shoulder.
[02:35.77] You give someone the cold shoulder
[02:39.56] when you refuse to speak to them.
[02:42.90] You treat them in a distant, cold way.
[02:46.99] The expression probably comes
[02:49.87] from the physical act of
[02:52.04] turning your back toward someone,
[02:54.92] instead of speaking
[02:56.86] to him face-to-face.
[02:59.10] You may give a cold shoulder
[03:02.02] to a friend who has not
[03:04.56] kept a promise he made to you.
[03:06.98] Or, to someone who has lied
[03:10.67] about you to others.
[03:12.48] A cold fish is not a fish.
[03:17.17] It is a person.
[03:18.90] But it is a person
[03:21.37] who is unfriendly,
[03:23.13] unemotional and shows
[03:25.34] no love or warmth.
[03:27.57] A cold fish does not offer
[03:30.91] much of himself to anyone.
[03:33.40] Someone who is a cold fish
[03:37.11] could be cold-hearted.
[03:39.65] Now a cold-hearted person
[03:42.34] is someone who has no sympathy.
[03:45.12] Several popular songs
[03:48.12] in recent years were
[03:50.66] about cold-hearted men
[03:53.00] or cold-hearted women,
[03:55.34] who without feeling,
[03:57.27] broke the hearts of their lovers.
[04:00.28] Out in the cold
[04:02.81] is an expression often heard.
[04:05.44] It means not getting something
[04:08.71] that everybody else got.
[04:10.51] A person might say that everybody
[04:14.10] but him got a pay raise,
[04:16.83] that he was left out in the cold.
[04:20.66] And it is not a pleasant place to be.
