      Co-worker 1: Thanks
      Co-worker 2: Bye
      Co-worker 3: See you all later
      Me (already working on something else): Love you; bye.

      Also “love kids” must be higher pitched than “I”

    OTOH, “have a great 1440 minutes” sounds sort of like an uplifting Rent reference.

      Although you can make it menacing again if you just State the amount of time and give them a thumbs up.

      “1,440 minutes” 👍

    It’s all about the phrasing.

    Other things that suffer from this have been listed in memes.

    “Butt dial.” Vs. “Booty call”

    And

    “Forgive me father, for I have sinned.” Vs. “Sorry Daddy, I’ve been a bad girl.”

      Ginger is a root and ale is a beer, but ginger ale is not root beer.

      Don’t worry you still have ~23 hours left :)

      You don’t want to know what will happen when the timer runs out… (Hint: the rest of your life)

    “Take one of these every evening for the next 40 years”

      He sort of looks like an off-brand ‘most interesting man in the world’

      (I stole this meme, so I’m not sure)
