You should have said:
It's colder than a non-gender specific witch's tit this morning.
Witches tit can be interpreted as gender specific due to centuries of misogynistic stereotyping, not just by male misogynistic pigs, but nearly all males in general.
This is 2019 don't ya know?
Lucky for you it's Halloween, and witches are part of how your neo-Celtic religion celebrates, and religion is protected under federal civil rights law.

So I walk in the office, throw my umbrella on the floor, and comment that it's "colder than a witch's tit this morning" and my coworker just sort of half turns to me and raises her eyebrows.
It's like, did I somehow misspeak here? I wanted to say "you got a problem with that lady?", but I bit my tongue and kept it civil.
Prepare to be terminated. Probably won't happen, but in today's society, it definitely could. Women are minefields in the workplace, especially now after the MeToo movement. Say one wrong thing or even one thing that is perceived in the wrong way, or even one false accusation, and you're outta there as a man (mainly if you're a white man).
Just fyi, my friend recently got promoted to manager, and his boss told him straight up that he will be fired no questions asked if there is ever even a single accusation of sexual harassment against him. There is no due process anymore. There is no sanity.

Did you say "witch" or "Genderwitched?" This is a very, very important distinction. A "witch" is not a currently recognized gender on the official list of genders I pulled from the internet. However, "Genderwitched" is. So, you can offend someone by saying "genderwitched's tit," but you're not likely to offend any "witches," because "witch" is not a recognized gender.
For reference:
https://genderfluidsupport.tumblr.com/genderMy previous post is misleading. According to another realm of the internet, "witchgender" is most certainly a gender. My sincere apologies to any whichgenders posting on this site.
If it's raining then it's not that cold
When the HR lady calls, remind her that it was, indeed, colder than a nun's cooter in the Klondike that morning.
My father is in his 80's - a great javelin thrower in his day - for what it is worth. This witch thing is one of his favorite sayings - a 1950's way to describe that the weather is cold. This one, along with the repeated statement when a guy drops a pass in football "Gee, hit him in a bad place, right in his hands" are his favorites. In the current metoo ecosystem, i think it is a good idea to stay away from witches thing and stick with my father's football quip - it is not funny, but won't get you in trouble.
I might add he was well before Archie Bunker's time with the meathead thing. That, too, is passe.
What if the lady's daughter is dressing as a witch for Halloween? You look like a creep, OP. A real creep.

Isn't it a no no to attribute a gender to anyone because you're assuming they are the gender you're attributing to them, it's up to them to advise their gender first.
"Common Questions
What is International Pronouns Day?
International Pronouns Day seeks to make respecting, sharing, and educating about personal pronouns commonplace. Referring to people by the pronouns they determine for themselves is basic to human dignity. Being referred to by the wrong pronouns particularly affects transgender and gender nonconforming people. Together, we can transform society to celebrate people’s multiple, intersecting identities. International Pronouns Day began in 2018 and takes place on the 3rd Wednesday of October each year. For 2020, it will be Wednesday, October 21. Individuals and groups will participate in grassroots activities that they determine at the local level."
Didn't Bernie Sanders recently advise what he identified as before starting his speech?

It's all relative. I bet you complain about it being "hot" out in the summer when it's only 91 degrees.
Anyway, thanks for everyone's concern, but I've smoothed over the issue with my coworker.
I crafted her a little homemade Halloween Card and placed it on her desk before leaving for the day.
"Happy Halloween!!!
But no candy for you. Even witches need to watch their weight. Ha Ha Ha."

Yeah, Bernie identified as an idiot.

FMD, now you're doubling down, make that tripling.
So now you're accusing her of being a witch and fat.
Why don't you bring her in a broomstick tomorrow. ?

You must not have been in Seattle. You are right for Florida but wrong for Washington state.

I suppose you still talk about "n*ggers in the woodpile", too.
You don't know your audience nor the situation when it's appropriate and funny to make comments such as this.
You are socially dense.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA
Get 'em tiger! You kill'n it!!!
Sounds like she’s one of those Christian nut jobs that get offended by body parts. We’ve got a few in our office and they go ballistic with any reference to sex, nudity, etc.
