Is it Hot in Here, or is it Just You?

People disagree over what "hot" means. This is true regardless of context. I would like to offer my definition of "hot" as it pertains to spicy foods. There are four criteria:
  1. If it makes your forehead sweat and / or your eyes water, and
  2. if it clears your sinuses / makes your nose run, and
  3. if it burns going in, and
  4. if it burns coming out,
then, and only then, it's hot.

I should add, if it burns after washing your hands three times, if you go to sleep and wake up with your cheek on fire, and if you are aware of every single scratch and hangnail on your hands after cutting. That, my friend, is hot.

That last comment was me... sorry!

Akpene, I was wondering who Jeremy was, and whether you had met him, since he had an experience bizarrely similar to yours. Now I just want to know who Jeremy is and why you were hacking his account!

That's the criteria(on) for sure!
