Not Engaged Yet

We need a code word...

So, BF and I went to a sports bar last night to meet some friends for a drink and burgers. 

There were some other people there that were friends of the friends.  I sat beside a girl that I haven't met, and she was talking about their engagement and wedding.  After two 22oz Amberbock, I asked her if she was on TK.  She said yes, she uses it for the checklist.  Apparently she's not a poster, though.
Her next question: "Oh, are ya'll engaged?"
No.....opps.  How do I get out of this one without looking BSC to someone who doesn't know what BSC means?

Fudgesicles.

Oh, well.  I'll probably never see the girl again.  She was from Louisiana and was visiting with her FI who is from where I live. 

Bottom line, we need a code word/phrase. So I can be like "That Italian family at the next table sure is quiet." And then we'd know if the other person is a Knottie.

Or, I could just shut up.

    So does "That Italian family at the next table sure is quiet" mean "I'm on TK, but don't say anything"? I'm confused.

    Then we could just say "Hey do you know Annie?"

    And if they're all like "Annie who?" we'll know they're not cool like us.

    Seems like a few people have been banned by the favors mod...I'm kind of scared to go over there.

    I might lose my mind with laughter if anyone ever asks me if I "know Annie."  Thanks ladies.
