With Context

Melissa, searching frantically for something in the office, while doing a bit of a dance: “Ugh. This is a sign that I should not make important decisions while I am trying not to pee myself.” (The bathroom is a very long outdoor walk away.)

Pamela calls Humberto over to her desk for some computer help. As Humberto looks over Pamela’s shoulder at the computer screen, Pamela turns to him and yells in exasperation: “WHAT’S THE WORD?!”
(she then laughs at herself and says, “Please read my mind and give me whatever word you think is appropriate.” )

No Context Needed

Melissa: “I used to vomit whenever I got too excited.”
*Pamela looks horrified*
Melissa: “…fortunately, I’ve now channeled that energy into interpretive happy dance.”
Pamela: “Oh good, that makes the clean-up much easier.”

Pamela: “Life without chocolate is….”
Humberto: “…is not life”
