I don't like anything streamlined, is what it is, particularly in language. In language it amounts to euphemism. "Add heat" is smoother, hence irritatinger, than saying, put more pepper in until it's so spicy you break out in tomato-sized and -colored blotches.

Pepper is something. Some vague heat thing is a faggoty abstraction I do not like. Heat is what the fucking sun does, not what a jalapeno does.
