Friend's Code

[Black_Bird]

Everybody has a code with their friends - whether they realize it or not. It's the slang that's shared only between you and yours - the in-jokes and the obscure puns that only occur when you are in a room with certian people... It feels like "home" to hear those words; it sounds like "I love you," even though it might result in a few snickers at your expense.

For me, it's the way Brian greets me: "Hello, tall dark and handsome;" it's how Matt pretends to come on to me, while I play the 'straight' man; it's when Heather claims me as her "Number one special bitch boy;" it's how Mark changes the subject by saying, "On that note, Lah."

Would anyone else care to share a bit of their friend's code?

I used to have that with my friends in TX. I was everyone's Mom figure. They were all sweeties to me.

We used a lot of video game and comic book references usually.

It comes in waves.

I share this with my sister. She is 14 months younger than me so we grew up together. People thought we were twins. We shared an apartment for a year when I was in college. There is a definite code, a language between us. No big mystical spiritual thing- just great familiarity.

This was largely unspoken. It evolved over the years to become quite subtle.

We used to say, "It comes in waves," to each other a lot. In all kinds of circumstances- silly, serious, even tragic. She or I would just look at the other and say, "It comes in waves." Rather poetic, now that I think about it. I think I'll jot an e-mail to her this morning with just that written on it. "It comes in waves."

Hey, jen! It comes in waves!

I can't tell you. I just can't, we use perfectly normal words but the real message is in the tone. I can't type that.

Yeah my best friend in NJ is like that. We've known each other for over 17 years, we can just say a one liner or one word and it tells a story. Case in point.

If one of uses the phrase : It's not so bad.

Referring to a fellow worker of ours who as a teen , took my buddies advice, not realizing he was joking, and proceeded to explore his girlfriend back region. He came in the next morning, Um... last night I found the other whole. He paused, you know what, It's not so bad! So that's how we refer to him, when we want to know what's new. We probably have thousands of them and most of our other friends can't follow our conversations. It's weird but when I go back to visit, it is nice to have that connection with someone.

Monroe points out the window and screams "oh look a panty tree"... she and I have been friends for so long that any word can become a code.. its just a matter of the way we say it.. i think we can just read each others minds now. With Jay its "don't make me spoon you" he says that every time i start to do something weird.. which is all the time and Thuy always says "Colin Firth in a wet shirt... Sean Connery naked and smeared with honey... thats it.. go into your happy place Allye" whenever i start to get mad

for my friends and I
Crackwhore, is a term of affection

Tibby - A mix between the names of two people who went to our school, Tim(so stupid he had trouble spelling his name properly) and Libby(the uber-bitch) Tibby. My friend(the one who invented the word) is the Tibby King, I am The Crown Prince of Tibbies.

Count to ten.

Whenever one of us gets angry the other tells them to count to ten. However, what most people don't realize, is that we're picturing the ten hottest anime chicks we can think of.

That's just a few of them
