soft is smooth

Rough is hard

Frozen is tough

Hot is soothing

For example

When you hit the rough ground from your bike, and you hit your knee hard. The frozen ice hitting your scrap is tough to get through. Your dad made you hot chocolate with extra marshmallows, and that's soothing. You call her up on the phone. Her voice is so very soft.

Now that's smooth.

  • Neither soft nor smooth for me. More like an irritated, "What do you want?"
