The DM eventually loses patience after Eric tries to flee from the gazebo and declares that "it's too late. You have awakened the gazebo. It catches you and eats you." Immediately afterwards, the amused players restored some semblance of order by explaining to Eric what a gazebo ''was''.

* In ''VideoGame/OctopathTravelerII'', this happens a couple times in travel banters between Castti and Throné.
** During Castti's Chapter 2 - Sai Route, Castti talks about "cleaning up" Sai's makeshift hospital. She literally means cleaning up, but Throné has a much different idea of "cleaning," since she was raised in a thieves' and assassins' guild. Her mention of "filth" is taken by Castti to mean "germs" or "actual dirt," and it isn't until Throné says "targets" instead of "patients" that Castti realizes what's going on.
--->'''Castti:''' ...Have we been having two completely separate conversations?
--->'''Thronéé:''' It... seems that way, yes.
** Later, in Castti's final chapter, they discuss the king of Timberain's apparent fondness for rare gemstones. At first, Castti thinks that they would just look at the king's collection. However, Throné then mentions how they could split the haul 50-50, revealing that she actually wanted to steal them.
