colder than a witch's kiss

[W Brewer]

<<colder than a witch's kiss>>
On a personal note, kissing someone who has just sucked on a popsickle was
indeed one of the most chilling experiences in my life. A real turn-off.
Disgusting, like kissing a dead mackerel, whatever that would be like.

E.g. in his pre-Dragnet tv avatar, Jack Webb was routinely knocked
unconscious as Pat Novak for Hire, perhaps explaining his addiction to
Fatima cigarettes and ultimate death by lung cancer.
