So he sent two roses, a crocus, a fuchsia and an orchid.

That means he wants to juggle an elephant on Thursday in order to make raspberry jam.

I think it was more a medieval era thing (when the intended meanings would have been more commonly known) but I'd have to look it up.

Cold Topic

A thread most controversial, that’s what I want to start
Full of impassioned arguments, of posting from the heart
And for this stimulation all will be thankful to me
On come on everybody it won’t work if you agree
