      IT’S GOING TO BE COLD OUTSIDE, BROTHER. MAKE SURE YOU DRESS APPROPRIATELY, THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS BAD WEATHER, JUST BAD CLOTHING.

        Except for high wet bulb temperatures. That shit will kill you even if you’re naked.

          New Englanders say that too! We also respond to others concerned about our wellbeing in the rain: “I’m not made of sugar,” though we have an answer that Germans don’t say: “but you are pretty sweet.”

            TIL.

            I guess Germans don’t have that answer because for a German “No scolding is praise enough.”

              I’m an American immigrant married to a German, and it definitely took us a bit to adjust to each other’s feedback styles- he thought every dish he made was my new absolute favorite, and I thought he disliked my cooking at first, because I’d say something was delicious and he’d say it was fine, lol.

              But I’ll take it, because this way Germans think I’m quick witted when I respond with that.
