Sharon: Hey Jason, how was your day?
Jason: Hey Sharon, it wasn't too good. I had this incredibly long meeting with a client. It lasted for 5 hours. He just kept beating around the bush. I'm exhausted.
Hugo: Wait, was your client beating bush in the meeting? Is there any bush in the office? I thought they only exist in a garden or forest.
Sharon: Hugo, when we say someone is beating around the bush, it means that he is speaking vaguely and in a roundabout way instead of directly getting to the point. Jason is an efficient person! I'm sure that got him impatient because a meeting like this is unproductive and a waste of time.
Hugo: I understood now. You know what, I have a suggestion on how we could help Jason to feel better. I know this new restaurant around the corner that serves delicious and all-you-can-eat sushi. Shall we go there?
Sharon and Jason: This sounds like the best idea!
