Olympiad: odd one out, the right order and tall tales ★★★, sentence 3

Tall tales come in two sizes: «I'm literally dying of thirst» after a match just means thirsty, but «it's just a scratch» about a gaping cut, or «I'm fine, man» from a mate who keeps asking the score, plays down something real, and the wise move is to check and tell an adult.

Who acts: Tall tales, course, puzzle, score, adult · What happens: come in, die, mean, be, gape, keep · To what, where: two sizes, scratch, mate, something, wise move · Speech: someone speaks here
