After Sunday lunch
Host: There's apple crumble for pudding — who's having some?
Guest: Oh, I'm absolutely stuffed, I couldn't manage another thing.
Host: Go on, you polished off the roast easily enough!
Guest: True, and I have got a sweet tooth... maybe a small bit then.

Tom: Same. Let's not even think about polishing off the leftovers tonight.
