: IF you keep "bone-"! "Bone-chillingly" - "so stupid, it leaves me cold." "Chillingly" w/o "bone" changes the meaning to "terrifying", maybe for a context where, say, the President says smthg so stupid that the implications are scary.

frosty folly
Не знаю, как это звучит с другими словами. Ближе к оригиналу по смыслу.

Когда кто-то говорит глупость, можно сказать по-английски "It is frosty folly". Может не говорят часто. Я придумала игру слов. When someone tells you any stupid idea, frosty folly could be said in English. Makes sense. Груне нужна игра слов.

to chew hot air
от Jack London:
Look at your brother, a-runnin' around to socialist meetin's, an' chewin' hot air, an' diggin' up extra strike dues to the union that means so much bread out of the mouths of his children, instead of makin' good with his bosses.
Пока не знаю ничего с холодом, и вообще зависит от вида глупости.

конечно, не "мороз", но просто хотелось бы предложить и такой вариант, а решать Вам.

Т.е., проще говоря - moron, к морозу не имеющий ни малейшего отношения. С уважением, не Хоттабыч, увы.
ИМХО ваше желание неисполнимо, разве что найдется здесь Хоттабыч, готовый на всё... Но это вряд ли!
