    Man, it used to drive me nuts that people would say “spicy” or “too spicy for me” when they clearly meant “too hot” but then i started to pay close attention. They were using the term properly, they were actually bitching about the garlic and cumin and cardamon and white pepper and curry and anise and whatever else i was using. Mustard was too much. Yeah, some of them used spicy for hot, but those were the people who could handle spice or hot,
