That's generally true, but there are some exceptions. For instance. "I'm pissed" can either mean "I'm drunk" or "I'm angry" depending on where you are and the context.

I'm going to a movie this Saturday

This one refers to the upcoming Saturday.

Science and Futurism with Isaac Arthur

This channel focuses on exploring concepts in science with an emphasis on futurism and space exploration, along with a healthy dose of science fiction. While we explore many concepts and technologies that are far beyond us now, we try to keep everything inside the bounds of known science or major theories.

Scurvy is treated with Vitamin C, which is found in lots of fruit juices. The connection is obvious.

Not to mention zombie fires that have been smoldering underground all winter.

It's a fork bomb. It exponentially forks processes in the background in an attempt to consume all CPU cycles.
