Why ape and I flirt wildly? To live dangerously! (4,4,4)
I believe the answer is:
play with fire
'live dangerously' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'why ape and i flirt wildly?' is the wordplay.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'wildly?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'wildly' mean this).
'why'+'ape'+'i'+'flirt'='whyapeiflirt'
'whyapeiflirt' with letters rearranged gives 'PLAY WITH FIRE'.
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for play with fire that I've seen before include "Be open to risk" , "Live dangerously" , "Take dangerous risks" , "Be involved with something risky" , "Engage in something risky" .)
