Sinister: Does he mean what he says when he says what he means?

I love how 'just' is ambiguous in this line:
It's just we feel she gets distracted.
PF, if you ever read this, could you please tell us what you meant?
I love the ambiguity of 'too' in these lines:
I'm not too proud to say that I'm okay with
The girl next door who's famous for showing her chest
(Let's say the sung version is authentic.)
Stuart, if you ever read this, could you please tell us what you meant?
My students are smart. They saw that "The missionaries are too hot to
eat" could mean that they are too hot to be eaten. And some of them even
laughed. That was very kind of them. How can I complain, unless I work
twice as hard as I do now?
I would bet that Peter Miller is not at all like the photo of him in the
sinister pages. He must be properly English, i.e. pale, to wear a pink
shirt! Then we could sympathize with his suffering in a foreign clime.
I can't wait to hear Suburban Light!
Yours truly with love and affection,
Youn
