Context-sensitive

1. Adj. Used to describe words that have multiple meanings in which said meanings are typically used in drastically different contexts, sometimes resulting in said words becoming offensive when taken out of context.

2. Adj. Describes video game controls in which pressing a button in a certain situation(or context, hence the name) causes something to happen which usually progresses the game in some manner.

Ex 1: The word "raped" is very context-sensitive, as it it can mean the horrendous act of sexual humiliation, or when someone is utterly destroyed in a game or competition.

Ex 2: "Conker's Bad Fur Day" has so many context-sensitive controls, that there's even an NPC in the beginning that explains the concept to the player.
