Context, dear boy. What is the context?

The first meaning can hold if the context is:

"what were you doing when you were supposed to do something else"

or

"what [bad] things you just did"

or

"what do we do", among other contexts.

e.g. "I just said that he was a failure, not that he was a [insert curse word].", "You just need to keep up the good work".


The second meaning can hold if the context is "what happened in a recent timeframe".

e.g. "We just lost the football game!", "They just stole my car!"
