OK, Buddy. This is where we differ. I only want my cow to stop
kicking.

I went to Webster (I'm not into linguistics) and input sanguine.

Here is what Webster had to say:

#3: having blood as the predominating bodily humor; also: having the
bodily conformation and temperament held characteristic of such
predominance and marked by sturdiness, high color, and cheerfulness

There you go! Now you see the train of thought.
