heat, smell of
Coined by the headteacher, who found it incredibly difficult to actually engage the pupils in conversation. When walking into a room and being confronted by pupils behaving suspiciously, he uttered 'It smells hot in here' and exited the room. Was adopted by the pupils to determine temperature in the absence of, or in spite of the presence of, a thermometer.
