Yup, sounds like a D&D game to me. You’ve never played with Mimic money?

I laughed, the bartender laughed, and then my money laughed, tenderly.

Yes, I didn’t found him dead. He was definitely not in the basement and he was enjoying his family

I don’t know why, but “he was enjoying his family” sounds oddly cannibalistic.

It’s not actually about being specific per se - it’s about overtly mentioning details that are already assumed from context. Grice’s maxims of quantity and relevance say that speakers only provide information when that information is important in some way and relevant to the discussion, so providing information that would otherwise be assumed means that information must be actively relevant to the conversation in some important way that warrants it being mentioned.

There’s a great video by Tom Scott on this exact topic.
