Revenge is a dish best served cold

A timeless Pashtun proverb. Although frequently claimed by Spanish, French and British imperialists, the proverb is as French as the Egyptian Obelisk in Place de la Concorde Paris. Synonymous with Pashtun culture and a definitive illustration of "Pashtunwali" or the Pashtun code of conduct. Revenge is a part of life for the Afghan people.

The proverb states that revenge is best served with a clear mind, not when you are hot with anger.

Pashtunwali guarantees the protection of the three Z's - Zan (woman), Zar (gold or property}, and Zamin (land). These are the most important assets to a Pashtun, especially the women. Insulting, sexually harassing, or molesting a Pashtun woman can mean ruin for the culprit and his family, as it's the most un-Pashtun act one can do. Violation of any of the three Z's can only be redressed by revenge taking (badlaa). A son can be killed for his father's crime, and vice-versa. This way, a single crime or act can lead to family feuds that may last generations. The phrase "Revenge is a dish best served cold" is of Pashtun origin, borrowed by the British and popularised in the West. -Encyclopedia

it-has-been-cold-as-a-mutha factor

This is the opposite of a wind-chill factor. When it has been cold for a long time, and then there is a mild winter day, it feels a lot warmer than it is.

Today is February 10. In Cleveland, it is 50 degrees, but with the it-has-been-cold-as-a-mutha factor it feels like 75.
