It's been cold here in lovely California as of late. I've noticed some people say it is "cold as hell." I'm not a Bible scholar or an ordained minister, but I don't believe hell is cold. I guess some faiths see hell as a frozen wasteland but I was raised on the fire & brimstone version.
Perhaps people say it is "cold as hell" in order to be ironic or even random, in which case I would like to suggest that Amy Winehouse is "sexy as snails."

I think there was a whole "...as hell" trend in the 80s or 90s that started with "it's hot as hell in here" and then that got applied to other things. "Cold as hell" was just an unfortunate byproduct.
its kind of like how "the sh*t" came to describe something "awesome". how did a word that is a synonym for feces come to describe something that's awesome?!
