tempera tantrum

Refers to a noisy/voluminous outburst of frazzled-nerved emotion involving watercolors, either emanating from a creator/observer of a messy spill/soiling involving said paint, or the resulting preposterous canvas-creation (think, abstract art) when the "genius painter" supposedly experiences a "creative epiphany" and totally "goes wild" with his colors in an effort to supposedly illustrate his inspirations, emotions, Heavenly-based vision, etc.
Old-school art-critic: I can't believe that the TV auction actually sold that hideous tempera tantrum for several million dollars --- first of all, who in his right mind would even WANT that confusing monstrosity slapped up on his parlor-wall to stare at night and day, anyway?? And second, why should anyone want to actually BUY something like that, when it's nothing special and exhibits absolutely zero talent? Why, I'm no artist, but I could easily create something like that myself in under five minutes just by splashing some paint around and callin' it good! Zheeeeeesh....!!

tèmi

Someone, a girl especially, who gives love, kindness, trust, and affection too much that they get less in return so that they become disappointed and find it hard to trust again.

Someone kind and as benign as a dove, gentle, kindhearted, a lover of humanity.

A Tèmi, capping the tender heart, usually has a sexy voice and a tidy outward appearance. They come so cute as well.

The word 'Tèmi' is of Yoruba origin and translates literally into 'mine', a possessive word used to show ownership of precious, priceless things. Gold comes too cheap compared to the preciousness meant here.
