English term or phrase: blow hot air
Chodzi mi tutaj o gre slow ktora bedzie miala sens po polsku.

Zdanie : We are not blowing hot air when we say we melt snow faster than anyone else!"
I pod spodem jest opis procesu podgrzewania wody w maszynie do topienia sniegu, ktory to proces nie opiera się na wlasnie dmuchaniu cieplego powietrza w kierunku wody aby ja podgrzac, jak u konkurencji, ale podgrzewanie specjalnymi palnikami.

Wszystkie sugestie, ktore pasowalyby do tytulu tego paragrafu sa mile widziane. Dziekuje z gory.

nie chuchamy na zimne
Explanation:
zamiast: dmuchać na zimne (choć to ma inny sens)

tu byłoby "chuchać (ciepłym powietrzem) na zimne (śnieg)"

Nie chuchamy na zimne, a jednak rozpuszczamy śnieg szybciej niż inni

nie rzucamy słów na lód


Explanation:
Hot air is the language full of words that mean little or nothing. Czyli tak parafrazujac nasze rzucanie słów na wiatr, tyle, ze z uzyciem lodu. Co Ty na to?
