"Cold shoulder" is a phrase used to express dismissal or the act of disregarding someone. Its origin is attributed to both 19th-century literary works and as a result of folk etymology.
Although the exact origin is disputed, the first occurrence of the phrase "cold shoulder" appearing in print is in the Scots language, from The Antiquary by Sir Walter Scott in 1816:
where "cauld" is the equivalent of cold and "shouther" means shoulder, which is further supported by contextual usage in The Antiquary. Neither eating nor food is expressed in the passage, but the phrase is presented in a rather allusive way. The phrase also appears in one of Scott's later works, St. Ronan's Well and after the 1820s it had traveled to America. Dated June 1839 in a letter to the editor in the New England newspaper The Bangor Daily Whig and Courier:
Another explanation is that the phrase stems from a particular way to serve food to an unwanted guest. In this case, "cold shoulder" refers to serving of an inferior cut of meat, namely a "cold shoulder of mutton" to an uninvited guest, as opposed to serving a hot meal or roast that was fresh out of the oven to an invitee, which was customary at the time. This acted as both a direct and subtle means to let the guest know that he or she was or had become unwelcome, and had extended his or her stay.
The human shoulder is made up of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone) as well as associated muscles, ligaments and tendons. The articulations between the bones of the shoulder make up the shoulder joints. The shoulder joint also known as the glenohumeral joint, is the major joint of the shoulder, but can more broadly include the acromioclavicular joint. In human anatomy, the shoulder joint comprises the part of the body where the humerus attaches to the scapula, the head sitting in the glenoid cavity. The shoulder is the group of structures in the region of the joint.
There are two kinds of cartilage in the joint. The first type is the white hyaline cartilage on the ends of the bones (called articular cartilage) which allows the bones to glide and move on each other. When this type of cartilage starts to wear out (a process called arthritis), the joint becomes painful and stiff. The glenoid labrum is the second kind of cartilage in the shoulder which is distinctly different from the articular cartilage. This cartilage is more fibrous or rigid than the cartilage on the ends of the ball and socket. Also, this cartilage is also found only around the socket where it is attached.
How cold
When I woke up this morning
it was very cold.
How cold was it?
It was a freezing, sneezing
goose-bumpy, teeth-chattering,
can't-get-out-of-bed,
blankets-over-my-head
kind of cold
Cold refers to the condition or subjective perception of having low temperature, the absence of heat.
A lower bound to temperature is absolute zero, defined as 0 K on the Kelvin scale, an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale. This corresponds to −273.15 °C on the Celsius scale, −459.67 °F on the Fahrenheit scale, and 0 °R on the Rankine scale.
Since temperature relates to the thermal energy held by an object or a sample of matter, which is the kinetic energy of the random motion of the particle constituents of matter, an object will have less thermal energy when it is colder and more when it is hotter. If it were possible to cool a system to absolute zero, all motion of the particles in a sample of matter would cease and they would be at complete rest in this classical sense. The object would be described as having zero thermal energy. Microscopically in the description of quantum mechanics, however, matter still has zero-point energy even at absolute zero, because of the uncertainty principle.

I express lyrics in ways that you can relate to
How would you feel if someone said in your face that they hate you?
I got it daily- stuff to rarely smile over
Get in my shoes, this is shit you walk a mile over
Record labels don’t want me- they’re my family
I’m angry cuz I don’t think people can understand me
I don’t want a hand out, just wanna stand out
Get this cash fast, some paper to help my man out
Might’ve heard my demo and fell in love with the punch lines
This is real rap, talking about the crunch time
That happens when you’re the one that is standing between
You and your dreams of cream and being in magazines
And when it seems like things just can’t go any worse
Don’t stop cuz you’ll never know how close you were
To being on the billboard charts, it’s all over
You gave up your soul and the goal to the cold shoulder
A cold wind is blowing and I know it
Cuz I’ve had a cold shoulder all of my life
So stop giving the cold shoulders
[x2]
How am I supposed to write without an inspiration?
Dedicating this to those facing situations
Create frustrations, making you all complacent
Living in a basement, awaiting payments
Living check to check has got me in my room pacing
Gotta bust my ass or else I’m on the pavement
I know I can make it if I work hard enough
Try hard enough, push, kick and strive hard enough
I write lyrics every day and respond to my fan mail
Running with my momentum and don’t ever stand there
My shot came here fast but it can go even faster
That means I have to grab ahold of the dream that I’m after
A dream deferred is not in my literature
I’m a little bit more mature, more competent with words
They can say men can move mountains- I’ma start with a boulder
Holding the weight of the world on my cold shoulders
A cold wind is blowing and I know it
Cuz I’ve had a cold shoulder all of my life
So stop giving the cold shoulders
[x2]
Freedom of thought, bleeding, feeding all of the chaos
Reading your palm, meeting dead and gone in a séance
Taking crayons, writing messages and confessions
My mind is being read; my brain waves can be detected
To get inside my head is the job of a new detective
I must be a deviant who’s needing to be corrected
It’s ineffective, thinking the thoughts of the masses
They were clearly brainwashed, their thoughts not so reactive
My actions are all acting, so I look interactive
However I’m held captive, feeling like I’ve been trapped in
A brand new world where the struggle has got me covered
Feeling pretty troubled from watching Big Brother
And my doublethink is on the brink of extinction
With thoughts that sink in, have you started thinking?
About your life changing as you get older?
Have a warm heart but keep the cold shoulder
A cold wind is blowing and I know it
Cuz I’ve had a cold shoulder all of my life
So stop giving the cold shoulders
