 couple of sunflowers and a single orchid that stands out. It  includes a small teddy bear to achievethe effect of immediate            
 forgiveness.

 B:I don’t think that’s gonna cut it. I need something bigger and better!

 OK, to insinuate is to suggest.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
 So I could say, hey, you're really chubby.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
 That's not an insinuation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
 That's a statement.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
 But I could say, well, you're looking a little bit round at the sides                                                                                                                                                                                                           
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
 So you're saying something indirectly.
