I was once involved in a business enterprise with a man who wasn’t a native speaker
I had talked to a child about buying some of our stuff, and he was psyched about it and went off to fetch a parent to complete the transaction
I was talking with my colleague about it in the interim, and said of the kid “he was sold” as a way of summarizing his receptiveness to my pitch about our products
My colleague became very alarmed. What do you mean, sold? Who bought him? What do you mean?
It took a while to explain.
“Roll acrobatics, I guess.”
“Natural 20!”
"Ok… You contort your body in ways that no humanoid creature should be able to, and successfully fit inside the jar.
"Can I get everyone else to make a Wisdom saving throw, please?
"Uh huh. Uh huh. Uh huh.
“Ok, everybody else now thinks you’re a djinni.”
And then they find atire
that’s just me playing Zork
Later the rogue was eaten by a gazebo. :)
