Euphemism

This fire is super blazing hot with yellow and red flames and could also be considered warm

Alliteration meanders mindlessly into a metroplex Starbucks, metabolizes a macchiato, munches on a muffin, and meekly mingles with Mexican meteorologists, mustached Moroccan mystics, and Methodist missionaries.
