Good ones!
I wasn't sure about "burns" since technically I'm not sure that would be a dictionary entry...the others are great! I just added "Glide" too..

peregrina commented on the word butt-crazy in love
Is "butt" something of an amplifier here...? interesting usage...reminiscent of "I had to get up at the butt-crack of dawn."

Yes, the potent pisco sour, known to make individuals forget their marital status, or name, or how to breathe..depending on how many one drinks. Doesn't take many so be careful!
