A chilli is a spicy pepper, or Capsicum. If you are interested, see here. Chillies are definitely not chilly, they are hot! This message has been edited. Last edited by: arnie,
Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
"Chili" is Mexican slang for "penis." They say ... Out in a field on a rather cold morning the Mexican and the gringo farm worker both decided to take a leak, during which the grinigo said, "Pretty chilly."
The Mexican said, "Thank you."

Thank you Jerry, I've spent some time laughing at that before I could type again.
According to my dictionary the spicey chilli can also be spelt as 'chilly' so there really is no difference. This dates from 1662. Conversely, to feel cold can only be spelt 'chilly' and dates from 1570. Surprisingly it wasn't until 1841 that the word came to be used to describe someone 'adverse to warmth of feeling'.
