@ItsOttis They're not mutually exclusive, it's ambiguous because it's euphemistic.
-
so gonna go up to a chick and ask her if she wants to join me for some light refreshment.........
-
They're all euphemisms apart from the last which is deliberately ambiguous for the punchline to work, to all those that don't understand comedy or English
-
@ItsOttis but the whole point is that alan has misinterpreted what lesley has said in the past. (i.e them waiting for someone to meet an accident) and therefore asking that they be more clear, therefore less ambiguous. christ, i can't believe i'm explaining this
-
@ItsOttis Now, that's being needlessly ambiguous.
-
@grogew A euphemism is the substitution of a frank expression that might offend or otherwise suggest something unpleasant to the audience, for a mild, inoffensive, relatively uncontroversial phrase. I'd say that fits this sketch perfectly.
-
@ItsOttis not really, you've got your definitions wrong (apart from the very last bit)
-
I'd say it's more euphemistic than ambiguous.
-
When it cuts to watch them walk out of the door they have switched places....
