My SO said the above statement and gave me an explanation “Cold is the absence of heat or energy”, it does make sense however in my head it is like saying (in very simplistic terms) “the countryside is the absence of a city” and that is just a ridiculous statement.

To try and explain how “cold is the absence of heat” does “dry is the absence of water” make sense? In order for something to be wet you need to have water present. If there is no (or very little) water it is dry. In order for something to be warm it needs to be releasing energy in the form of heat. If there is no energy being released as heat then it is cold.
