Paragraph using all the expressions
Yesterday my friend called me to tell me about a huge argument in our group, and in a nutshell, everything was calm until one person suddenly brought up an old issue. Then, plot twist, someone who was not even involved at first jumped in and completely changed the tone. At that point I just thought, here we go, because I knew the drama was about to start. A few minutes later, our manager entered the conversation too, so basically authority has entered the chat. After that, everyone got a chance to say their piece, and thankfully things settled down.
