Tetra, die already

Tetra dye is an alcohol based bright pink dye that we use to check our packaging.

Last night, MH was doing teardowns, shooting dye into the air gaps.

I was standing next to her at the tetra bench, working on my audit, with no else in earshot when she said, "f***ing die already!"

"what?" I said.

She repeated herself more emphatically, "f***ing die already!"

I knew she could not really be speaking to me, but there was no one else there...

It took at least a full minute before I realized what she had actually said was, "[I got] f***ing [tetra] dye [all over my hands] already!" and she realized what it sounded like and why I seemed so offended.
