Wait, so it's "Hard as Hail" not "Hard as Hell"?

[Skooby]

I guess that does make more sense.

Smh. I never realized this.

 

[Kamikaze Revy]

I can't imagine hell being easy, so I would say both work.

 

[PortCityProphet]

So leaving in hell sposed to be easy?

 

[315]

What?

 

[Jatigi]

Then why do people say stuff like lame as hell, cool as hell, stupid as hell?

Because its superlative, not a simile.

How would they leave?

Would hail make hell cooler?

I think it's because the literal meaning was lost on them, so they turned into superlative due to them thinking over time that it was Hell instead of Hail.
Also cold as Hail makes more sense too.

 

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

Yeah just like how someone will say they’ll do something when “hail freezes over”

 

[ImmaGetJoeClarkArrested]

OP dumb as hail

I guess hail is cold....and stupid?

 

[Luke Cage]

I guess hail is cold....and stupid?

I mean, i know people who use the term dab that have no clue what it means. I wouldn't surprised if this evolved along the same line.

 

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

what the hail y’all arguing over now?
