My great uncle would say this, but instead of “than usual” he would say “strictly necessary”.

My dad would always say “Its so cold I have to bring the monkey inside” … because he wasn’t allowed to talk about monkey testicles (brass or otherwise) in front of children.

It is so cold the post man is peeing popsicles. (We once saw a postie peeing behind a bush)

Damn, plenty of uses of “polar bear’s” already.

Personally I prefer “a polar bear’s unmentionables”. Leaves plenty to the imagination.
