Seriously though -- I'm not looking for your catch phrases -- just asking if you have them. If not, it might not be a bad idea, to have words to replace locations and times.
The resistance fighting in Europe was not restricted to France. It was an underground network that had been established long before WW2 and it was/is present through-out Europe [the USA as well].
I guess I'm old school, use lines from poems. Kipling, Poe, or even Homer. The line or phrase from before or after code '...when all about you are losing theirs.' IF you know what I mean.
YES they were used in to movie Red Dawn..... geat film...classic even..... the scene is set at night were the are sitting around the fire as the raido they got from the old man who sent his grand daghters with them for safe keeping. the message is for "friends behind the lines" ....ohh man thats a good movie..... now i got to go watch it....lol
Yeah, my code words to my wife. " Hey, What's for supper?" That means I'm hungry and something she's cooking smells good.
We also have a code word for sex. We ask, "Do you wanna get in some Range Time?"
The missus & I met at work, we developed our own verbal shorthand and some code words so we could have private conversations at work without being understood. We don't work together anymore but still use them occassionally at home when the kids are around. We talked about taking a sign language course together for the same reasons but never got around to it.
We don't however have a code for an emergency, should work on that.
"If all wishes were gratified, many dreams would be destroyed."
"Nothing is ever what it seems but everything is exactly what it is."
"Nothing real can defeat us. Nothing unreal exists."
We've got several (I'll modify them slightly to maintain OPSEC) that we use regularly and a few that are reserved for real emergencies.
"Travel Rules" - Keep an eye on your siblings/family, stick close, this is an unsafe situation.
"Aunt Bessie" - Food supply. Aunt 'Bessie' went hungry during WWII and never got over it. When she died, her home, basement, storm cellar, pantry, etc, were all full of food and supplies. A little nuts, but everything was neatly labeled and stored on shelves. So, "Go in on a present for Aunt Bessie" means a group buy.
"Uncle Louis" - concealed weapon. Uncle 'Louis' built a remote controlled air horn that he mounted under the tractor wagon. When you were loading a basket of apples, he would blast it just as you put the basket down - causing near fatal heart attacks among his nieces and nephews. It was funny to watch, but less funny when it's you. When he passed on, his brothers put a bike airhorn in his casket.
"Award winning jelly" - head to the family farm ASAP. A family inside joke from the time a cousin won a blue ribbon for her jelly only because it was the only chokecherry jelly entered. The stuff was awful! Her brothers made a nice big sign for the road to the farm dump that said "Blue Ribbon Farm Dump - Home of Award Winning Jellies since 1975"
