... as cold as a witch's tit. I hate that expression and I don't ever use it. But when I looked at the fill-in-the-blank, that's what came to mind. I'm from southern New England.

That one was common among the more countryfied of my friends and acquaintances in Kentucky.

Yeah, I've known too many warm witches for that one to make sense. "nun's nipples" is pretty good.
