Bites
Release
Release verb - To set free (from a state of being held in check).
Both words in one sentence
- The waiter tries to talk him out of it — "They're very hot" — it escalates, the manager is called out to explain "They're very hot" — finally he has to sign release forms — he bites one, freeze-frame, and then the conventional effects of the trope are narrated in detail by a voice-over.
