No.. I get it.. 41 < 105.. I totally agree haha funny joke. I'm just over this debate. Who gives a fuck what temperature scale you use? Just use the one you know. We have conversions for that reason.

No, that's not it, we're measuring in incredulity units, which are syllables.

"One hun-dred and se-ven?!" == 6 syllables

"For-ty one?!" == 3 syllables

Also, the first one has more vowel sounds to really draw out to indicate higher levels of I-can't-even. It sounds only golly-jeepers in Celsius, and much more I'm-so-done-with-this-shit in Fahrenheit.
