In a relationship, there are countless four-letter words in the English language that never cease to excite, please, and amuse. The most popular one is undoubtedly the one beginning with L, but there's too much controversy and predicament associated with that one. It relies upon the delicate measure of time, place, the individual delivering it, reciprocated affection, and mood. Sparkling in the right context, but hard to easily enjoy.
My personal favourite would have to be S-A-L-E. I love how it can jump out at me without warning. It is candy to my eyes; the beautiful, bold red four-letter word hanging on a clothing store window is like red wine to my lips. I can indulge in this one without stressing about the ramifications. Impulsive, uncomplicated, no consequences. Though, my bank balance begs to differ.
Due to some company restructuring, my position was made redundant. It was a blessing in disguise because I needed a reason to move on with my career, to branch out and find something more challenging and rewarding. Thankfully, I've found myself a new job that offers both, and I start in mid-March. Since these work changes were unexpected, I didn't have time to organise a short vacation to cover the next couple of weeks. Consequently, the only trips I'm taking are to the shopping mall, where the siren call of S-A-L-E lures me in. If I’m not careful, I’ll end up tangled in every shopper’s nightmare: the dreaded four-letter word, debt.

"red wine to my lips"? have you ever sipped wine before my love?
lair! =P
Lucky you! The only 4-letter word I'm familiar with at the moment is w-o-r-k.
There's another 4 letter word which will solve it... R-I-C-H. Unfortunately that is often complimented by 2 other 4 lettered words, H-A-R-D W-O-R-K.
And yes... I can defend Julz having drank red wine. Cept I didn't think that she enjoyed it as much as she described it here at the time...
Anyway... back to W-O-R-K...
Caz - hehe you're the "lair"!
as a matter of fact, I've had red wine on several occasions. Dave and his family have developed a taste for wine so I've had sips here and there. Last week, I had half a glass and was a bit tipsy after dinner.
I should work on my alcohol tolerance, it's uncool holding a glass of juice at every staff party... then again, I don't need alcohol, I'm naturally high. =D
Jess - hang in there. just another 50 or so years to go!
Alwin - haha "red wine to my lips" is an expression, it flowed with the red SALE sign. I couldn't think of anything else that's red to use as a simile.
Hmm... how about "cherry ripe to my mouth"? it just doesn't sound as powerful. there's just something sexy about red wine... to my lips =Þ
how about period blood... to a tampon? haha ok i know i'm gross.
oh how about a bursting pimple to a tissue? or a doggy doodle to a stuffed toy? or strawberry to your lips?
my favourite four letter word is F-O-O-D! better when it is preceded by M-O-R-E!
Y-U-C-K
