luke warm

Post by JNG »

Went out for lunch with the little lady today, lunch was good, but the mashed sweet potatoes were LUKE WARM.

So I asked the bride. What did LUKE do so wrong. Was he a butt hole, or what. American wants to know.

Now you got me think'n, other than a mans name, the word luke is not used, unless connected to the word warm, that I can think of.

Checking the entomology of lukewarm I found "... from Middle English leuk "tepid" (c. 1200), a word of uncertain origin ... Other now-obsolete formations were luke-hot (late 14c.), luke-hearted (c. 1500)."

Typically, lukewarm is about the worst temperature for flavor. It allows the aroma to evaporate, and doesn't give the feeling of the heat from cooking.
