Last Friday I ran into a friend after work and we stopped for a bit of a chat and to share our exciting activities for the long weekend.

He: What are you up to?
Me: Nothing much. Just veging. You?
He: Same. I think I'll stay at home and pet the cat.
Pause.
He again: That isn't a metaphor for anything.
