let me guess: you heard scientists put recently two more elements to the
periodic table and remembered the 5th Element? :p

Ironically, the 5th element is Boron.

The 5th Element was anything but boring. More like Hotium. :p

I have always wondered if "she is so hot!" is the opposite of
"she is so cool!"

No.
It's a bit like topology. A closed set is /not/ the opposite of an open
set. In fact, a single set can be both. Or neither.
Now figure out why inflammable means the exact same thing as flammable.

How can a set be open and closed at the same time?

How about habitable and inhabitable?

A person can be both "hot" AND "cool" at the very same time...
She's hot and acts cool!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clopen_set
Basically, the definition of "open" is unrelated to the definition of
"closed". (An open set provides a way to distinguish between points. A
closed set contains all limit points. Clearly one concept is unrelated
to the other.)
Also: anything closely related to set theory tends to be incomprehensible.

"Team Bravo, you will guard this area here. This is an old mine field.
Most of the mines are /inert/. However... some of them are ert. Be careful."
(3 points for naming the source...)

Rather, she looks hot and acts cool.
