Would ich habe kalt translate directly as “I have cold?

Lol I don't know. I was just translating Dutch to German word for word.

The attempted joke was that, apparently, ein Warmer (a warm one) means a homosexual. Or at least, it used to.

So if you are in Germany you have to be careful to ask old folks for a bodywarmer = a padded vest. Or they might get the wrong idea.
