I was thinking about sentences that can tell the entire story on their own. I have 2 common examples:

  • So, I started to play WOW
  • My husband was 20 older than me

I can already tell how is gonna develop and end. What other sentences you know that have this effect?

It's fun to put "I'm not racist but" in front of totally innocuous statements.

I'm not racist but there's a blue Hyundai parked outside my building.

It still works. If I heard that my first thought would be "who are they racist against?"

β€œI’m not racist but the weather is nice todayβ€œ

I use something similar often. "I'm not racist but the color of the bread is white."
