Slang[edit]

I hold that this is slang. Not only by hell, but also: is it proper to write? It isn't literary. Not yet. --VKokielov 18:12, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology[edit]

Should this entry have an etymology? It would says something like "hell is very hot, so a snowball would melt very quickly: having very little chance of keeping its identity as an extant snowball." --Spunionztastic (talk) 07:40, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Some people use etymology sections that way, but I think so long as we have the usage note, which explains much the same thing, we don't really need an etymology. —Soap— 17:10, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
