Back in the Beforetime, my wife liked to have code words for things like “we should go” or things like that that come up in social occasions.
I like to mess with her about what the word will be in any given situation - I always try to get it to be ‘poodles’.
It just cracks me up imagining her having to work ‘poodles’ into a random conversation. We don’t have poodles, I’m not sure how anyone would make using ‘poodles’ sound natural in a conversation. It’s my go-to word.
Like going back to someone’s house after going out - and I’m usually bad at knowing when it’s time to leave, so she’ll say “Okay, so we’re not staying all night” - and I’ll go “Yeah we’ll just have a code word for you to tell me it’s time to go . . . like ‘poodles’”.
And then I’ll laugh and she’ll sort of laugh and look at me like I’m a dumbarse. Then we pick a real thing to say and go in . . . .
