It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Scanlan Shorthalt, a gnome bard . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, Tiny Vax, thanks to a potion that does that. you managed to go ahead and put in an Immovable Rod within its stomach, which held it up for a moment, before it decided to truly gain the advantage it needed to escape the circumstance, allowed it to tear through its body, as well as an arrow that was shot by Vex, towards her brother, in the hopes of, I don't know, being a symbol of hope?
DM: Yeah. If you were to use Cutting Words on this, it would reduce the damage all of you would take from it.
Player: All right, I will use Cutting Words to reduce the damage.
DM: What are your cutting words, Scanlan?
Player: My cutting words are, "Your lower intestine smells like shit!"
DM: Go ahead and roll your bardic inspiration die.
Player: A ten? Shit roll. Three!
DM: So 18 saving throw. What was yours?
