cat's tongue

If you don't handle hot (NOT SPICY, the temperature) food or drink well, and you have to let it cool before you try it.

It came from a literal translation of the Japanese word 'Nekojita' (猫舌), which is used to describe someone who can't handle (piping) hot food or drink.

"Is there something wrong with your soup? Do you want something else?"
"Oh no I haven't tried it yet, I'm letting it cool first."
"Oh, so you have a cat's tongue, got it."
