does this make sense?

Question

here is a conext

Person A says,,,," is it cold there?"

Person B says,,," not inside"

Does this make sense? and does it mean it is not cold inside?

Answer 1

It does make sense. Person B is making a "smart aleck" response, suggesting that he thinks people should be inside when it is cold outside.

Answer 2

It seems person B is making a joke by saying that inside buildings it isn't cold, even though person A was refering to the weather (outside).

Answer 3

it's not the most well constructed sentence- it could mean many things... here are two examples:

* it's cold outside (of the house) but not inside
* it's not cold inside (of me, my heart, my emotions, etc.)

Answer 4

Yea, I take it to mean it may or may not be cold outside, but inside it is NOT cold.
