Hot and Cold are relative to the system being measured. In effect they are subjective. Temperature is a quantitative measure of the relative change. When a system looses heat it is considered exothermic and vice-versa endothermic. But something that is considered cold to us can loose heat and become colder. It is therefore necessary to use a specific temperature when referring to the change.
