My friend Harry met a young woman the other day who was wearing a pink shirt, then a shorter sweater over it. So he kiddingly said (thinking the pink strip was exposed skin), "Aren't you cold? That makes me shiver just seeing you!" She explained it was a pink shirt, but that she USED to be one of those young women who always wore short tops that left her belly exposed - until she got frost-bite all around her midsection a couple years ago. She said "Weather like this makes that stripe ache with remembered pain, I'm NEVER going to let that happen again!"
