Brick out

A phrase used when it’s unbelievably cold, almost to the point where it actually hurts to be outside. Is typically used in the winter months in areas where temperatures drop below freezing.

A. This guy walks outside for the first time since it snowed and is sitting in his car waiting for it to defrost and warm up, then literally screams with intensity: Aaaaah!!! It’s brick out here!

B. Friend 1: Make sure you put on that extra layer when you head out today. Wouldn’t want you to get sick because of the crazy cold weather we’ve had lately.

Friend 2: Girl, you ain’t never lied! It’s brick out!
