Hi Karen,
Sorry I can't come to your birthday party, I REALLY wanted to come. The only thing is I had to walk my cat... no I mean my dog. Yes my dog. Sorry I just got a dog yesterday I have to walk it. The vet said my dog had to be walked for however long your party is hours a day. Sorry about that. Toodles
sincerely, Chad
Without a subject and a verb
The new meaning would be (B). It becomes a verb that means "To punish for breaking a rule or a law".
