A unit of temperature-measurement that rates how "hot" or "chilly" a salesperson's looks and/or mannerisms are when marketing his wares.
Billy Mays may have fancied himself as "just the ultimate salesperson stud", but I never thought much of his puffed-up yatter, and so I'd have given him a merely "lukewarm" rating of about 15 degrees on the sellsius scale!

Get the sellsiusmug. A molding process whereby precious metals are melted down and formed into household items, sporting-goods, etc., enabling their buyers to be less "obvious" or "visible" in their acquisition of said valuable minerals than they would be if they simply purchased coins, bars, etc.
Two excellent examples of investment casting would be electrical/plumbing components and golf clubs, which can be formed from gold, silver, platinum, etc. and installed/stored in the investor's home without anyone's being the wiser.

That way, you are giving an essentially-truthful answer, while still "keeping the conversation G-rated" --- i.e., without divulging any actual "adult-themed" info. Plus said youngster will likely become either bored or "info-overloaded" while staring at the map, and thus will forget about his/her original question.

Da infamous sword-waving sailors who sold corn for da "highway robbery" price of a "buck an ear" --- okay, I'm kidding, but you get da idea --- were "working together on da salty billows" --- i.e., in "conspirasea" --- to rob other ships, and so da correctly-spelled word "consPIRACY" really fits da bill, as well.

Get the conspiraseamug. An egotistical jerk who claims to be of somewhat "elevated" military rank, but who in reality is merely a no-account civilian who stays in the bathroom for extended periods of time.

Get the lootenantmug. A boring-but-necessary bit of drudgery that must be performed every so often on your Facebook and other online "this is me and my life" pages, to ferret out and delete any derogatory/offensive/useless content that a few lazy-a** hoodlums with excessively-temperish personalities (and an unwillingness to merely talk to you directly/privately if they have a gripe with you about something, instead of just splashing their whimpery B.S. all over your profile's comments-section) and/or way too much time on their hands have posted there, so that other viewers of your profiles will not get any wrong ideas about you (i.e., incorrectly think that whatever is being complained about regarding you is actually valid, invalidly assume that you approve of and/or welcome less-than-decent-or-positive material, etc.).
I have to laboriously perform a periodic profile-purging for my Facebook and Tagged account-pages every few months, but I find it worthwhile, since most people whom I befriend online tell me that they like what they see in my profiles, and no doubt this is largely because I try to keep them "clean and pristine" so that viewers are not offended as they scroll down the pages.
