I hadn't noticed the flamethrower in your avatar before, and merely spoke of your avatar in general, nuclear bLast included.
Hmmm, I said (basically) "throwing flames at me isn't likely to raise my temperature". If I'm the nuclear bLast, the flamethrower is in the other guy's hands.

Oh, and I can only concur with your comment regarding Languages and small misinterpretations. One of our fellow countrymen innocently asking for a "douche" would certainly face an odd reaction. (A "douche" in French merely means a shower, which is not quite the same meaning as in English) But I am digressing once more.
Heh... even funnier, this can also happen among people using the same language. Eg, never say "Tiens, je vais vous montrer une photo de mes gosses" to a Québequois.
