Special:Badtitle/NS90:Forum:Trope Talk/Cold-Blooded Torture rename/reply (3)

I think torturing someone for pleasure is the quintessential cold-blooded torture. In this context cold-blooded = heartless. It's not a rare usage. The trope name as a whole too has been used as a single two-word phrase a lot, dating from long before a trope was named after it.
