you stick needles in things. S = south = a point. Ticker = heart.
― ailsa, Thursday, 3 January 2008 14:29 (sixteen years ago) link
(i went with the point/heart thing first, then tried to convince myself that needle and sticker meant the same, hence question mark as I wasn't entirely convinced myself)
― ailsa, Thursday, 3 January 2008 14:31 (sixteen years ago) link
I struggle to think of a needle being a sticker. I might have got it if it was 'pin point heart', but probably not.
― onimo, Thursday, 3 January 2008 14:32 (sixteen years ago) link
OK, yours is probably a better version of the clue. That usage of sticker is not very common.
