    If I had to pick a name for this kind of slang/phrasing, I think it would be something like “superlative trunc”, as in a truncated superlative (biggest, smallest, oldest, richest, tastiest, etc).

    I have a friend who suddenly realized they had a habit of blowing on very cold bites of food (like ice cream) as though it was something too hot to eat. They rationalized this as needing to do it for any food that was “too temperature.”
