Re: in the red (in the financial clear)
Huh? to me in the red is in debt or in business sense-- a loss-- not making a profit. I never want to be in the red! and i think that is different reasoning-- maybe from old ledger books-- where losses where noted in RED ink
Red letter days have a different source too, from old missles-- holidays were marked on the calendar in RED-- Faldage posted some very nice info--over 3 months ago if you should try and search..
