What do you think?

Well, I don't know.

That's why I'm asking you.

To be fair, it's not a bad teaching technique because a lot of the time, the purpose of doing that is to encourage the student to be a bit more autonomous, right?

And a lot of the time, students can work it out for themselves independently.

And that's a very important skill to be able to work out meanings of words and things.

But in the moment, it can be quite irritable, irritating.

I mean, when you have one of those teachers who won't just give you a straight answer and they always have to find a way to get you to answer the question yourself and you just don't know.

So it's pretty stupid.

Yeah, the metaphor here is that heat makes life uncomfortable.

Right.

And then hot meaning popular, fashionable or successful.

This is used for people, products, trends, ideas and entertainment that are attracting a lot of attention.

For example, Luke's English podcast is so hot right now, which is literally true.

I mean, literally the temperature of what...

I mean, what is the material substance of this podcast?

Let's say it is the microphone.

It is me.

It is my body, the room, the air that surrounds me.

It is the temperature of the camera, of the microphone.
