CRINGEWORTHY MOMENTS IN HISTORY.
It was1988. A year before maverick director Dorian Walker and hot producer Bob Manning would release the highly anticipated Teen Witch. A film that stars Robyn Elaine Lively as a teen nerd who suddenly discovers she’s a powerful witch. Originally Walker and Manning planned for just a simple jazzy film score to accompany this indie dramedy. Though after reviewing the first cut, the creative team realized a contemporary dance music number would be integral in helping complete a pivotal scene. In a pinch they turned to composer/lyricist extraordinaire Larry Weir. And with the help of a well-choreographed Amanda Ingber they created one of the most Cringeworthy Moments in cinematic history – “TOP THAT!”

JUST HOW COLD IS A WITCH’S TIT?
Not asking ‘cause I’m about to get to second base with some Wiccan princess. It’s just that since I’ve been on a health kick (for about 5 minutes), I now walk to work. Unfortunately the weather has NOT been cooperating. It’s like really, really, cold, ice water outside. Which is pretty much the main reason that expression keeps popping in and out of my head as snot leaks from my nose and instantly freezes to my face. Sorry for evoking such sexy imagery.
The expression began in the 16th century in not so jolly ol’ England. Apparently, the “mark of the witch” was located on her breast. Any woman who had an extra nipple, blemish or beauty dot in that area was instantly considered evil. Old court records even show the deposition of these blasphemic-boobs during witch trails.

SO WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TEMPERATURE-WISE?
Believe it or not there is an answer! Scholars say that after the whole “witch trials, death to wrongly accused women” thingy, the expression referred to when Mercury (in thermometers) solidified. And as a certain informative wiki post states ...
The temperature at which mercury will freeze is a cool -38.83 °C (-37.89 °F).
You're welcome.
