Hot as pancreas

Definition

Medical professionals' attempt at making 'hot as balls' sound more anatomically sophisticated, because nothing says professional like organ-based temperature comparisons. Can refer to either physical attractiveness or actual temperature, giving it impressive versatility. It's what happens when doctors get tired of sounding serious all the time.

Example Usage

This hospital break room is hot as pancreas—someone please fix the AC.
