Context-sensitive

1. Adj. Used to describe words that have multiple meanings in which said meanings are typically used in drastically different contexts, sometimes resulting in said words becoming offensive when taken out of context.

2. Adj. Describes video game controls in which pressing a button in a certain situation(or context, hence the name) causes something to happen which usually progresses the game in some manner.

Ex 1: The word "raped" is very context-sensitive, as it it can mean the horrendous act of sexual humiliation, or when someone is utterly destroyed in a game or competition.

Ex 2: "Conker's Bad Fur Day" has so many context-sensitive controls, that there's even an NPC in the beginning that explains the concept to the player.

conversation-context nicknaming

Da uproarious act of playfully referring to yer present-company individual by one or more words dat he has just said to ya in yer back-and-forth light-banter-speech, often to jokingly mean dat ya think dat da other person either is presently being silly or is silly-natured overall. For example, if ya are having "huggy-roughhousing" fun wif a pretty girl by folding her legs up, plopping her cute warm rubbery feet against yer chest, gripping her hands to both savor their warm softness and steady yerself, and then leaning forward to press her knees against her chest while smilingly saying, "Squish-ish-ish-ish-squish-squash!", said "folded-up" chick gigglingly retorts, "YOU'RE a 'squish-squash'!"

Another example of conversation-context nicknaming would be if ya eye-twinklingly warbled, "Ding-dong!" to someone inside a building after ya had passed through an electric-eye-equipped door and thus rang an electric bell on yer way in, and da person inside chuckled back, "YOU'RE a 'ding-dong'!" Or if ya and a friend were assembling/servicing something together, and ya said, "Since we'll likely be needing to frequently loosen and tighten this particular fastening, I think we might want to use a wingnut here," yer helper "jumped at da chance" to toss a playful barb yer way by responding, "YOU'RE a wingnut!"

It depends on the context

A reference to the 2023 congressional hearing on campus antisemitism. Specifically when asked "Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard's policies?" Harvard's former president Claudine Gay replied: "It depends on the context."

I know they said "all Jews should die" but that might not be antisemitic, it depends on the context.
