Wedding Woes

What is your code?

to make fun of other people openly, without others knowing what you are doing?

H and I love that movie Idiocracy. There is a character who is really stupid (played by Dax) and he constantly says "I like money." H and I have turned that into our code....so when someone is being really stupid, we say to each other, 'that person really likes money.'

So we can openly smack talk without getting caught.

    We just look at each other, then in privacy spill our guts like a 13 yo girl writing in a Lisa Frank diary.

    I guess we don't care about getting caught :o)

    We do have a saying "I just don't like her shoes." When I dislike someone, I tend to go through a laundry list of reasons they suck, and it always ends with something ridiculous like "and she has THE WORST taste in shoes. Seriously, she looks like a grandma." H reminds me that I have plenty of valid reasons to dislike the person, and I don't have to resort to petty nitpicking. So now, often when we start to rant about someone we'll just stop and say, "you know, I just don't like her shoes."

    We never had a code.  You know I have little to no filter and I certainly don't give a crap if someone hears me.  Nico on WW is Nico IRL.

    If I think someone will hear, it's the raised-eyebrow-elbow-nudge. Otherwise, we just say it outloud.

    "They're on your team."

    We both have some intersting team members, mine might win the championship this year.

    We also don't have a code.  We use a lot of Chappelle references that people may not understand, but otherwise no code.

    no particular code, but "oh, we're playing that game again" is a popular one around his mom.

    there's a nudge, whispering and giggling.  if we're secluded, there's pointing, too.

    one morning, dh and i were in the car, and i had to drop something off at the main apt building.  as i was on my way out, three women were walk-of-shaming it into the apt building.  i ran to the car smiling, and dh was there with a matching smile.  we laughed for five minutes without saying anything and then drove off.

    I don't think we have a code, we just say it. My H does not care if people hear him. I'm a little more discreet, but equally judgey. That's why I love him.

    We have no code.  Sometimes I will nudge and then when we get to the car I'm all "WTF at that guy sitting in front of us wearing a bra and screaming 'Go Badgers!' even though no Badgers were playing in this particular game and oinking while eating his funnel cake?" and H is all "What?  Huh?  I didn't notice anything strange about him."

    We are better at making fun of people on TV where things can be explained in real time.

    This is why I love holiday parties. Especially the ones for DH's work. Since he's forever angling for a promotion we go to schmooze, and the second we get in the car it's all " so and so brought his mistress" and " so and so looked drunk". It's glorious. Actually next weekend, we have a family day at his office. Then we get to see who has not so cute kids while eating moderately crappy BBQ.
