b.    If you gossiped about the boss, you talked about all the rumours you’d heard: who they are dating, how they treat people, who said what to them and when, and so on. If you talked about work, it suggests you discussed business: how things are going at work, and so on.

e.     If you miss the last bus home, you don’t catch it, and then maybe have to get a cab home, or walk! If you miss a person, you spend a lot of time thinking about them and longing for the day they return.
