I don't talk to my best friend from college often enough, but when I do it usually goes something like this:

Mole: Ah well, the future is uncertain, but I'll just make kombucha wherever we land.
Ratty: Oh, that sounds so nice. Wait, what did you say?
Mole: I said I'll make kombucha wherever we land.
Ratty: Oh, I thought you said "I'll make a home."
Mole: Well that's what I meant, after all. I suppose that's metonymy, isn't it?
Ratty: I incorrectly heard one metonym and substituted the other.
Together: Oh, hahaha.
