Years ago, I was talking about secret codes with my father - who was a paramedic - and apparently Medical personnel and First Responders have far more code words than this! They no longer use "DOA" in front of the families of patients or victims, thanks to too many TV shows telling everyone what it means, so they'll say things like "DOS" ("Dead On Sight" or "Dead On Scene"), "DRT" ("Dead Right There") or "DRD" ("Dead Right Dere") instead. And hospital staff will secretly alert each other to a patient's death with phrases like "Transferred to the ETC" ("Eternal Care Unit"), "Transferred to the X Floor" (where X = the number of floors in the hospital +1, so "Transferred to the 11th Floor" in a hospital which only has ten floors means "Gone to Heaven"), "Healthy Tumor/Goober" (patient just died from cancer), "Transferred to Sublevel M" (the morgue), "Patient [assuming/transitioning to] RT" ("Room Temperature") or "TMB" ("Too Many Birthdays," patient dead from old age or old-age-related maladies).
Our local ambulance company uses the code "K" to represent a deceased person.
Now they will have to make new codes because you just exposed em all lmao 😂
Don't forget "Code Gray".
Well, doctors won't be able to talk about me in front of me any more because I now know what all of this stuff means.😌🥶💩
As a daughter of a mom who just graduated from a nurses bachelor degree in science and a previous emt, I can confirm these are true. Medical care is such a hard profession. Having to memorize all these codes and lives in YOUR hands, is incredibly for a job.
I knew a woman who "rode the rails" during the Great Depression at age 14.
I asked her about sexual assault, and she told me that the male hoboes were always perfect gentlemen. None of them ever did anything that was inappropriate for dealing with a 14-year-old girl. That was a shock, but she lived through it and was not a liar.
Same in Australia.
back then they had respect for others and most had a high moral value.

@@Josh_D78actually, lower population overall, =less perverts per sqft & the situation wouldn't be a bunch of guys who went everywhere together, pals with like preferences like nowadays, they would be individuals, all down on their luck as opposed to a 'gang' in a 'hood' .it was more like hopping a bus while the drivers distracted by someone out the window.
Interesting, started running away at 14. The homeless people showed me where to go and what to. Also, who to stay away from.
5:03 My Grandmother had lived by train tracks growing up [born 1916] and she told me about these signs. Her mother would feed the people who asked. There was a building by their house, and as I recall it did have a symbol on it. Unfortunately I don’t remember what it was. My Grandmother’s house where she grew up is no longer there unfortunately. Thanks for sharing!!
my grandmother did too, she grew up in the great depression era on a farm, right by train tracks
and their house had symbols on it and so did other farmhouses around there. And one symbol was a cat. So someone was helping the homeless train riders.
Also she met my grandfather that way too, because he rode the train past her house all the time. But he wasn’t a hobo, he was in the military.
Hobo codes together with plane codes are the only ones that's real here.
@@KrzysiuNet Nope. These are all real
@@ChristophBrinkmann yeah, sure. In other comment I explained why they are fake. And people here confirm it - they are either made up by media or by extrapolation of some very local slangs.
0:36 lol just gonna proudly state here that I'm a friend of Bill W.'s and have been for almost 7 years!
Hell yeah! Good job! ❤
Who is that-
I too am a friend of Bills!
Good for you! Many successful years to come!
I've known him since 08
I read an anecdote from a Disney World employee. They'd seen a naked toddler take a dump in public and run off. Not remembering the proper code, they reported, "We have a Code Pooh, and Piglet is on the loose."
😂😂😂
They say the same thing if it’s a Chinese person.
😂😂😂😂

❤🎉😅😅
What you are calling a drifter is specifically the Hobo lifestyle.
Hobos actually had complex ethics and were rather willing to work to earn their keep, opposed to tramps, who traveled but avoided work, and a bum neither travels or works.
One of the most fascinating things was their rules regarding runaway children: they would always strive to help a child in need, and would encourage them to return home.
Ty I was gonna mention something similar. Also.great sources of History lessons
Today, you have more 'grifters' than 'drifters'
I knew people that selfless once. They were good friends.
@@Thenogomogo-zo3un unfortunately, yes. I noticed a major shift around y2k~ as far as it all goes with younger people. I call it "new school "ME first." Kinda attitudes.
@@izzyjones7108 Every generation that's ever existed thinks their generation is the greatest of all and the younger generations are the selfish ones. Just as dumb now as it was in ancient times
My first job as an RN after graduation was at a level one trauma center.
One of the official abbreviations (the only kind you were allowed to use in charting) was GOK - God Only Knows. Used when the doctors were clueless about the cause or treatment of a condition.
My Dad used to tell me about the symbols carved into the gate post at his childhood home’s back fence that meant hobos could find a free meal there. Despite not having much (it was the Depression era) themselves his mother never turned anyone in need of food away.
Very Cool Woman! If that doesn't get you to Heaven, NOTHING WILL! That's if you believe there is a Heaven though!
Check your spelling j/k
Also..before Col Sanders passed? The original Kentucky fried chicken (Not PepsiCo KFC)- there was Only one left down south last time I checked ) but..the Og ones? If anyone came in and said they were hungry? It was a Rule that they would be given a meal for doing a little work. Col sanders actual son died of starvation on the road.
That’s a good thing to do.
When we have a real jerk as a patient he is labeled a PIA and told to CYA when charting
As someone who is a frequent flyer at hospitals, that code for security varies. It can be a code strong, if it’s in psychiatric ward, it could be a code silver, if it’s an armed assailant, but it depends on the region and the health care group. Also depends on the nation.
Tbf most codes are regional.
You know, when you watch Be Amazed once, you can't stop watching! 🤩📺 It's just that captivating!
Yeah, I mostly heard Code Red, Code Blue, Code Grey, and Code Green during my frequent visits.
@@gtbkts true. It's just that, I feel like some people will go looking for this in their region, and be upset when it's not the same code. Just warning the people that took this video a little too literally
Objectively, not literally.
My favorite medical one is CTD. It stands for "circling the drain" and is very descriptive of a doomed patient who is going downhill, slowly at first, and then more and more rapidly towards the end.
Also OBP, for “(One foot in the grave and the other) On a Banana Peel.”
Been in retail for around 6 years, and in almost every store I worked at, if we caught someone who was acting sus, we would make an announcement on the intercom stating "Security check, Line 1" to deter them from stealing anything (I mostly worked in sketchy areas, which I usually didn't know until later on as I was still new to the area, or I applied for the job as a last resort, so it was pretty common to hear it being announced). Later on, the MOD (manager on duty) would check the cameras, and if they did steal something, the MOD would call the authorities and have them trespassed from the property.
Color codes are used as well
At my workplace, it's a bit more subtle, paging "Department 35" to an area (whereas _actual_ departments are paged by name rather than number)...
Smart, I love it! It reminds me of trick-statements in IT support - "please tell me what do you see the number, if any, in the right corner when computer turns on after reboot" (instead "reboot your pc/I did it already [lie]") or "please unplug and plug keyboard [or other device]" (instead "have you plugged in kb?/it's plugged [without rechecking]"). They are not codes, they aren't anything official, they just are smart ways used by experienced technicians to achieve the goal. I'm thinking about recording a video with some of the tricks which one can use to repair devices remotely.
Idk, i disagree with the people in these comments saying revealing the codes is a mistake. Coz knowing the codes isnt the problem. its how you, as a person, react to them. If you hear "inspector sands" and start screaming "omg that means fiirreee everyone get out!!" Then ofc thats gonna be bad and cause panic. But if you hear it but still ignore it and act normal then there wont be any issues. So yeah, knowing the codes isnt bad. Its how you react to them if you hear them irl.
Now, you know them ... but what about in 10 minutes? do you still know it then? what about tomorrow or in a week, or next year when you actually go to London?
@@NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEJ exactly that too! People are too sassy over codes in a youtube video, like, chill 😂 like I said, knowing them or not isn't an issue 😂
Travelling to and from work on the London Underground for over 45 years, I can tell you that, up untill recently, a bucket of sand was hooked on the wall of every platform and corridor. The buckets are gone, but you can still find the brackets on the walls.
"Fires don't take place on the Tube very often"
Wesley, I am a Londoner who takes the train on a daily basis. I had TWO 'Inspector Sands' announcements last week, and the tube staff told me to my face that there was a fire in my station. Old Street is quite a popular station for locals and commuters such as myself, too. Small station fires here are not rare, not at all. But only the major fires that require the LFB are ever mentioned on the news.
@TurnipstalkLondon fires I've never had that code ever.
I've seen mock bomb once where the head staff, placed it to make sure staff were on the look out.
Tube staff are amazing people and very good at looking after passengers too.
That said the black cab drivers are brilliant too.
You are more likely to encounter suicides jumping in front of trains atm. This happens a lot.
You're partially right. Small fires on the Tube can happen very often, but the timing depends. It could range from four times a week to once every few months and so on. That means how often you hear "Inspector Sands" depends on how often small fires happen.
volume of passengers, frequent trains, amount of trackage…fires are guaranteed to happen several times a week just from litter and debris on the tracks alone
As the child of 2 doctors, I must say this. Most doctors don’t talk about patients like that in front of them. (At least in the hospitals I’ve worked in and my parents have worked in) And the term FLK is usually referring to people with fetal alcohol syndrome. Which is a syndrome that occurs if a mother drinks alcohol while pregnant. It is different the amount of alcohol consumption required to cause FAS in every woman. Some it takes 50 rounds, others it could just be a single cup. Best just to say away from alcohol all together when pregnant. Yes FLK does still mean funny looking kid, but if you look up what FAS does to the facial structure you can see why
My understanding of fetal alcohol syndrome is that it is caused by when the mother drink's alcohol, which is why one "timely" drink may cause it or one of fifty drinks over time may cause it. Just my 2 cents!
Yes that is correct, it is more common in women who have children in their 30s and older. Having children in the at time also just increases the likelihood of developmental disorders in general. Mainly Down syndrome
I've worked in IT for almost 20 years, and I don't know that I've ever actually seen a help desk person use pebcak or id-10-t, or similar, with an actual user. It's fun to talk or joke about sometimes, but a huge majority of folks are just decent people and treat others with respect and a lot of patience.
I've been tech support or support-adjacent most of my working life (more than 30 years at this point), and I've also never heard anyone use PEBCAK or ID-10T to a user. I've heard them use it to EACH OTHER as shorthand for "user error, not worth going into detail" many times. "That guy I transferred to you, what did his problem turn out to be?" "Oh, ID-10T error." I've also heard a borrowing from aviation terminology used: "Controlled flight into terrain" for problems like a user putting the command to open a terminal window in their .profile or .cshrc file.
I've seen it a couple times but it's such a risk to do it's rare. One got a person that was very unpleasant so had him enter a code in one of the advance settings that was the correct code then # to tell it to ignore everything after that then F1_1ck1ngID10T and he called back to let a supervisor know he is not. The other was an agent describing what the person was experiencing and another rep jokingly said it sounded like an ID10T error which the agent relayed to the caller not knowing what it meant but the caller did. Apparently that became a very spirited sup call.
GenX IT, we 100% used both those terms in the 90s.
Thank you ❤
We always talked about wetware problems; I.e., the user.
Also, in Canada, hospitals use codes based on colours and here’s what those codes mean:
Code Blue- Heart/Respiration stop, patient needs CPR
Code Red- Fire
Code Yellow- Missing patient
Code Pink- Infant missing from the NICU
Code Brown- Chemical spill
Code White- Combative patient
Code Black- Bomb threat
Code Silver- Firearm threat
Code Aqua- Flood
Code Green- Evacuation in progress
Code Orange- Mass casualties, expect multiple patients
Code Omega- A patient has lost a dangerous amount of blood and needs an immediate transfusion
While staying in the hospital I heard "Dr. Strong to room..." And i asked the nurse if they really had a doctor with the last name of strong, she laughed and said "no, that's the code when a patient is getting physical and they need help holding them down" 🙂
In Ontario hospitals uses these codes
Code amber: missing child/child abduction
Code aqua: flood
Code black: bomb threat/suspicious object
Code blue: cardiac arrest/medical emergency - adult
Code brown: in-facility hazardous spill
Code green: evacuation (precautionary)
Code green stat: evacuation (crisis)
Code grey: infrastructure loss or failure
Code grey button-down: external air exclusion
Code orange: disaster
Code orange CBRN: CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) disaster
Code pink: cardiac arrest/medical emergency - infant/child
Code purple: hostage taking/gang activity
Code red: fire
Code silver: gun threat/shooter
Code white: violent/behavioural situation
Code yellow: missing person
Code 33: obstetrical emergency
America has different ones, but they’re similar to the ones you have
@@DarkRose0523 naw I heard all the code colors when walking down stairs to go smoke outside. Chime would go off then a automated voice would sound off the code color. 🙂

During my Airforce days as an avionics tech on jet aircraft, we had some codes. "CND" meant "could not duplicate", if the tech couldn't get the reported problem to appear. A "Short Between The Headsets" indicated the pilot was the problem. "Midnight Acquisition" meant we visited another maintenance unit's turf at night, to "liberate" some part that we needed and didn't want to have to await delivery through the supply system. 😅
Not my area, but I've come across 'problem with flight stick actuator' as another way to say 'short between the headsets'.
Nicely said👍🙊
We “tactically acquired” some items in the Marines. Sometimes from the PRQ-E4’s.
1187-B
Loose nut behind control.
There was also another one for "bird strike damage" that we would use as well, but I don't remember the number, 979, or something like that.
US Navy.
One code that was exposed as the title of a suspense movie is Broken Arrow, meaning a lost or stolen nuclear weapon. In the movie, John Travolta was the renegade pilot who stole and attempted to detonate an H-bomb.
I used to work for Simplex (later Tyco, not the toy company) who made fire alarm systems. I worked on the audio portion of the system and there were two fire alarm announcements for a hospital. Doctor Firestone was one and the other was Doctor Blaze. It's up to the hospital to determine which one means what.
Doctors & nurses say, "Patient made the O sign ." for a peaceful death, and,
"Patient made the Q sign." for a hard death.
O sign mouth open
Q sign mouth open tongue hanging out
Generally a Q indicates deceased
From a dr
We have code dove
And a 'dotted Q sign' is the tongue hanging out and a fly on the nose.
Other medical "codes", GOMER = Get Out Of My Emergency Room - basically an obstreperous or difficult patient or one that is a pain to handle. DS = "Drug Seeker". ETKM = "Every Test Known to Man" When a patient has had the run of tests, the DX (diagnosis) and the DDX (differential diagnosis) could be GOK = "God Only Knows". A "crock" is a patient that is really REALLY sick (short for broken crockery). and then, at the very end, the patient can be said to be "circling the drain". Q-sign means the patient is comatose or completely out of it. The letter Q looks like an open mouth with a tongue hanging out. Now one that COULD get families upset, if they see it on the patient's chart, but is actually not an insult is SOB. Shortness of Breath! "Gorked" is another term for Q-sign.
Rules from the House of God
1. Gomers don't die, Gomers go to ground.
2. At a cardiac arrest, the first procedure is to take your own pulse.
3. The patient is the one with the disease.
4. Placement comes first.
5. There is no body cavity that cannot be reached with #14 needle and a good strong arm.
6. Age + BUN = Lasix dose.
7. They can always hurt you more.
8. If you don't take a temperature, you can't find a fever.
9. If the radiology resident and the medical resident both see a lesion on the chest X-ray, there can be no lesion there.
10. Medical care is to do as much nothing as possible, and look for a reason to transfer the patient to another service.
@@willhen50 I had completely forgotten #6! Thanks for reminding me! Our facility had #1 as "Gomers don't die, they become a SHPOS and refuse to pay the bills". In many ways, I actually miss the craziness that used to be a medical residency!
@@AnonymousSquirrel123 What's "BUN" ?
Also, to TRF (transfer) a patient to orthopedics raise the bed three feet ( broken hip) and six feet for neurosurgery (fractured skull).
BUN= blood urea nitrogen, a measure of kidney failure.
I'm watching this before it gets taken down by the FBI.
Hhiii
lol
😂🤣😂
Same 🤫
Saaaame. This could be important
My late Mother-in-Law was a nurse and they would use Dr. Grimm (Somebody coded) and Dr. Allcome (All hands on deck).
And when you think about it, all those codes do make perfect literal sense of a sort. The names tend to relate to the action. Not much actual decoding to do at all.
Re: Inspector Sands. It is also used at London Mainline stations too. Have heard it at London Waterloo during a fire alarm test. There is also another code for terrorist activity.
Yup 👍🏻
The hobo code wasn't secret. I actually read all about it in a reading book in 4th grade. That sparked my interest in secret codes. That same book told about other similar codes, such as ones used in the wilderness to mark trails.
Edgar Allen Poe wrote about codes. Sherlock Holmes had a case about the code of the dancing men, which was a simple substitution cipher.
On the police scanner, alcohol would be referred to as "ETOH" for ethyl alcohol (drinking alcohol). If there was a drunk driver, they would sometimes say that there was a short circuit between the steering wheel and the gas pedal. All of us older people learned "10-4" from the TV show "Highway Patrol" with Broderick Crawford. In the 1970s, one of the bread companies had a date code consisting of colored twist ties. Bread delivered on Monday had a blue twist tie, green was Tuesday, etc. The local sandwich company had a single letter on each sandwich telling the day it was made for. The code was the word "BREAD" spelled backward, so Monday's sandwiches had "D" stamped on the label. We learned about Morse code in school also.
At the mental rehab facility I was in in Florida, a code green meant there was a patient being disorderly, a code yellow meant a physical fight, and a code red meant a full on patient uprising, basically a riot. If they said "little" before the color it meant it was in the underage section of the building. I heard all of them at least once...
put the 'nothing worth stealing' mark outside your home yourself, checkmate.
or school/work building, lol
What's the hobo code for "armed and peeved off old curmudgeon"? 😅
"Armed and Dangerous , plus a Rotwiler or Doberman in site .
Smart idea. 😉
I feel like today robbers would take that as an invitation
Buy a safe lights, Buy Cameras, and Buy and learn how to use a gun. America is going to 3rd world
I know about a few of the code phrases used by medical personnel since my dad is a paramedic and my older sister is a nurse. They have no shortage of stories from their jobs, and some were really funny 😅
I’m an old retired nurse myself and definitely have many stories 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ definitely never knew what your shift would be like
As someone who worked in a hospital, I’ve never heard the ones mentioned. The most common ones are colors or code Adam.
Agreed. Have not worked in hospitals, but been in hospital as a patient many times for fire, code red. For violent patient code gray.. code blue, someone is practically dead and needs immediate help like CPR. That’s all I’m remembering at the moment. Correct me if I’m wrong.
@@BlinkOnWheels the codes where I work are:
Code Adam: infant/child abduction
Code black: bomb threat
Code blue: adult arrest
Code brown: missing adult person
Code grey: severe weather
Code green: hospital evacuation plan
Code orange: hazardous material/ radiation plan
Code pink: infant/child arrest
Code purple: bioterroism/ weapons of mass destruction
Code red: fire
Code silver: person with weapon/hostage situation
Code violet: violent/combative person
Code yellow: disaster [internal or external]
people try to make stories out of very old jokes. Ex: GOK has never been allowed as an approved acronym nor abbreviation.
I think it depends on the country, in Australia they use colours
same. I've worked in several hospitals and have never heard of dr. firestone. That's code red in almost every place.
Here is an interesting note : The song "D.O.A." ( "DEAD ON ARRIVAL" ) was recorded by Texas hard rock group
BLOODROCK in the early 1970's and "Uncle Charlie" ( the F.C.C. ) tried to have it banned from radio airplay due to
its graphic and macabre lyrics about a man who initially survives an airplane crash but then dies on the way to the
hospital . It was said that BLOODROCK singer JIM RUTLEDGE saw a friend of his board a plane , which crashed
shortly after take off and this incident inspired him to write that song .
[PLEASE READ THE NOTE AFTER IF YOUR IN THE UK]
Security use the same fire code but we usually called him Mr. Sands, Mr Red was for Blood/Injury, GM (General Manager) was for all hands to a location (usually for a group fight. Mr. Walker was for a designated security staff member who walks around the club to come and get rid of a troublemaker. Mr. Black was for weapons or possible bomb threats.
NOTE:
There was a specific code only customers used which was asking any staff (Security/Bar Staff/DJ/Manager) for "Angela". It told the staff member that the person asking for "Angela" was in danger (could be a guy or girl stalking them or they dont feel right and could have been spiked) and the customer would then be immediately escorted to either the medical room - if there is one - or staff office. "Angela" was chose because it has "Angel" in the name so your basically asking for a guardian angel to rescue you. It was used several times while I worked at different locations and it would stop the stalker from thinking your asking for help and that your just asking for a friend so if your in the UK remember that, but always check to make sure thats the name used as the code word.
Also ordering an Angel Shot.
you mean IF YOU'RE IN THE UK
Working at a pet store, if a pet is loose and running around freely, we say "Code Fluffy" so we don't alarm any customers. It is used fairly often. Another one we use is "Code Timmy", which means a child is missing in the store. This one, thankfully, i've never heard or used.
Code fluffy?! That is to cute.
Timmy and Fluffy are often found together, I’m sure.
I have seen Bill W's friends in action. It works.
When I lived in Milwaukee I worked for Miller, and we would respond to those pages so we could introduce those people to a crisp refreshing frosty golden Miller Genuine Draft.
Your kidding right?
Would you give fentanyl to a junkie too? ..
I hope this is a joke because it's hard enough for people to stay sober but then giving them they're own favorite poison is kinda sick.. I'm sure they appreciated your hospitality
I read that closeted gay men in the US Navy, back when it was dangerous to one’s career to be gay, would identify each other with “Are you a friend of Dorothy?” This referred to Judy Garland, who played Dorothy in the “Wizard of Oz” movie, and was known to be sympathetic to the gay community. Legend says that the Navy brass took the reference literally, and spent years trying to find this mysterious “Dorothy” (thinking she was the handler for some huge enemy spy ring, perhaps).
While in the hospital with family visiting my grandmother, the skies started getting really dark and there were tornado watches starting in the area. In this wing, all the patient rooms had one side entirely of glass so we had a great view of the darkening skies. We asked a nurse about where we'd go if there was a tornado. She said there's no tornado danger right now, if there were a tornado warning they'd have announced a "CODE WHITE" over the intercom. Not 30 seconds later, we hear Code White! Code White! over the intercom. Instantly the staff scramble to roll all the patients into the hallway and close the room doors, to protect us from flying glass if windows start to get broken. Nobody was told what was happening, and we may have been the only patients/visitors that knew what was going on. I don't know if that's a universal hospital code but it fits in with their other "color codes" like Code Blue etc.
No it's not a universal code. I believe each hospital/medical facility has their own sets of codes. Google some different medical facilities if you're that interested. 🏥
Code grey is violent patient, silver is active shooter, red is fire, ymmv
@@MrWazzup987 weird, one hospital i knew said code grey to indicate someone died
@Generic_username69 different facilities can use different codes.
Where I live, hospitals will tape a piece of paper with a black rose on it to the door of a maternity recovery room where perhaps the baby didn’t survive, to alert medical staff to be careful about how they speak to a grieving family when entering a room….I learned this when my own son passed after a few hours of life, and it still brings me to tears to think about walking down the hall and seeing a rose on several other rooms as well at the time.
I've heard that the code, 'Dr Duncan,' means there are donuts in the staff room.
The FLK designation usually means there is probably a neurological problem with the child that may indicate a problem that will affect learning and/or motor or cognitive issues. Often these problems aren’t real obvious, but show up as something just being off
In hospital codes, you forgot “Paging Mr Post” which means a patient has died
Where did you hear that?
@@samschmit7181 I've heard it too. Generally "Doctor Post" referred to an interesting post mortem going on. Someone once told me that "Doctor Mortimer Post" was used, but I never heard that one.
Got one for ya. If you hear "Mr. Leo to (location)" over the airport intercom, they're calling a cop to that location. Had one funny situation where a passenger by the name Leo was being paged like this.
I was a physician for 35 years and I can tell you that the "code" FLK is commonly used. Plus it is not all that respectful. In fact, I still laugh. Sorry.
For what it's worth, the two most common codes in hospitals that just about everybody recognizes are code red for fire and code blue for medical emergency. When I was a hospital employee back in the late '90s and early 2000s, we had a few codes we had to modify... For example, "code strong" had to be changed to "code yellow" to call for security/help restraining a violent or unsafe person because we got a Dr. Strong on incoming staff... 🙂
Did you ever get a Dr. Howard or a Dr. Fine?
No, we didn't have those.
@@SharonYoung You didn’t get the joke, I assume? Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Shemp Howard weren’t doctors, but in one short film they played three incompetent doctors. They played lots of incompetent members of various professions in the 1930s. Weird Al Yankovic paid an homage to them with a PA page in his music video “Like a Surgeon “ (a Madonna parody).
@@allanrichardson1468 lol. Sorry, didn't get that it was a Three Stooges reference. I figured there was a joke somewhere I was missing, though, and if I answered honestly it might get explained 🙂 And I may just have to look up Like A Surgeon, because all of Weird Al's parodies end up being hilarious.
19:54 "This gives the staff the all clear while allowing the customers to go back in and enjoy their meatballs blissfully unaware that they where briefly at risk of blowing up" i know what you actually meant but the first thought that came to mind was that the meatballs where the ones at risk of blowing up lol
Please, they’re meatballs, not bangers (British sausages plumped up with water)!
My dad had a secret code with his friend when they were kids. They'd whistle to each other to communicate if they could visit or not. My dad showed the whistle. It was REALLY REALLY LOUD.
my dad used whistle really really loud to tell us when to come home at sundown as kids, even if we were a mile away we could hear it, it was crazy, I can't even whistle at all.

And RTFM for "Read the F-ing Manual" for when the issue could have been easily solved if they just spent 5 minutes reading the help file
@@ViridianFlowThough to be honest, when the computer is down it may not be possible to read the help file (in fact, Open Office apps will sometimes crash upon pressing F1 to ask for help if the Java RTE version is incorrect, since their help engine uses Java).
This is one argument in favor of old school printed manuals. Besides, you could study a manual when you weren’t near your computer (or terminal), or when the system was down, making your terminal dead.
@@allanrichardson1468 That's fair, though I imagine in that case these days people could always just take out any number of other internet connected devices, do a quick search for the manual and read it that way. If it's your modem or something that's having the problem well, that's a bigger issue at that point
IT guy here. I once helped someone who somehow plugged a USB cable into the ethernet port. She is the head of HR.
Actually calling people idiots even in code is pretty rare though I've definitely heard them used between techs when not around users. Also, please restart your damn PCs and make sure it's plugged in before calling us, 80% of issues are resolved by turning whatever it is off and back on again.

I worked at ikea, and the store I was at would say 'code 1000' to signify a possible store evacuation. Shortly followed by a robotic voice saying 'your attention please, we're experiencing technical difficulties and need you to make an immediate exit from the store. Our staff will guide you to the nearest exit.'
…and the labyrinthine nature of Ikea stores means you might be out within a couple of hours. 😁
@@GeoffRiley I wouldve been out 2 seconds flat, seeing as I worked in the parking lot.
I work at a Walmart. Everyone probably knows about Code Adam, missing child. But most of the rest of the codes are colors. Code White, for example, is a customer accident. And if you hear a cashier talk about Bob and Lisa, it's a reminder to check the bottom of the basket and look inside all.😊
"Lisa" means Look Inside Always. It refers to purses, bags, etc. These items can be stuffed with items to be stolen.
Code Adam is on a sign at the front doors of my Walmart! ❤
If you hear Code Black def run/powerwalk for the nearest exit
I heard code white being called while I was coming to after collapsing in a walmart. I didn't know what it meant, so I was really confused what kind of "emergency" it was. It was me, I had apparently been down for at least a minute. I was very popular until the paramedics arrived. LOL
I was in a Walmart when there was a "code Adam." I knew what it meant, & decided to look around for the kid. I thought I found , him, told an employee, but didn't stick around, on purpose. It WAS the kid they were looking for, & I'm grateful everything was okay. ❤️❤️
24:15 Imagine if it's literally just a random sequence of letters and the designers just wanted to troll everyone.
My thought as well. Having three hidden codes to decrypt and watching all those specialist going nuts over not finding a solution to the fourth one would be one of the funniest way to troll an inteligence agency; they wouldn't be able to atop trying.
I'm sure no one will believe this, but yours truly is among the best codebreakers in human history.
It's a troll. There is no code.
either that or the designers made a typo or two when making that last one. apparently that's why one of the cyphers sent by the zodiac killer went unsolved for so long. the guys that solved it had to start looking for misspellings when trying to find solutions.

A long time ago one of the local radio stations I listened to (I think it was Piccadilly Radio in Manchester, UK) used to play 'Flowers In The Rain' to signal that there was a fire in the studio.
I work for a security Company and we have also a lot of codes but they can also change from company to company or within several objects.
For example for us is:
- Bernd (or Bianca) Peters: Bewaffnetes Personal (armed staff members)
- Werner Fricke: Waffenfund (found weapon)
- Bernd Fricke: Bombenfund (bomb found)
- Martin Neumann: Medizinischer Notfall (medical emergency)
And some other codes.
I was an armorer in the army. I would get a soldier saying their weapon was malfunctioning. After inspecting and firing it, most of the time it was an “operator head spacing issue”. 😂
22:37 Yes. Yes they will. Ask my cousin. 😂😂😂😂
Lol spacing issue
I have seen a video about kryptos and as it turns out, five codes are hidden within, only four of which been solved. So interesting!
Nice Coding but the Deaf Patient💀💀💀
No need to Code
Still need codes for those who hear , and have a brain .
I also don't need code words because everybody is going to die one day and everybody gets ill at some point. So please don't use code words, just talk about me and accept that words are just words. We put meaning into words if we want to put meaning into them.
@@davidarundel6187 do you actually know what "deaf" is
We have such codes on the German railways as well, officially in the rulebook. If there's a fire (alarm) on a train, the one discovering it will announce on the PA that a member of staff should "check the display screen in the breaker box" or, if it's more serious, "report to carriage [number] with an F-device" (a fire extinguisher).
More irritating to passengers but much more harmless is a loud beeping melody played over the PA with no further explanation. It sounds like an alarm but actually just signals the cabin crew to call the driver back because they can't reach them over radio for some reason. I liked to abuse the signal to wake up the passengers when approaching the final stop of a late-night train. 😅
At my work, we use radios for communication and one of the guys will sometimes bring in pie for the afternoon break … so we came up with “uhhh yeah, we have a code 3.14 in the south TDU trailer” …. So not everyone gets it, lolol the ppl we don’t want showing up lmfaooo it was pretty awesome ….
I worked at McDonald's in the eighties and when an attractive woman came through the drive-thru you would often hear "cherry pie in drive thru" over the intercom. Several of the young, male employees would come to have a look.

Hospital codes can vary drastically. An urgent call for security at my first job was a code orange. At my current job you dial their number or press the button on the security device we all wear. Code red at my 1st job meant there was a trauma coming in where the patient may need a large amount of blood. It signaled the blood bank to get it prepared. Code red at my current job means there’s a fire or smoke. Hospital alert codes are definitely not one size fits all.
And there’s no widely used acronym for ugly kids 🤦🏽♀️ Nor would any smart physician say it in front of the parents. Not only is it rude, but it’s unethical and could get them fired.

@@some1-1038😲🥹The predictive feature! I remember that now.
I worked as a security guard at a hospital a couple decades ago.
We did have some codes, however none of the ones mentioned here were among them.
I remember reading in an art history textbook that during the times of US slavery, quilts were used for communication to the runaway slaves. Different patches had different meanings, indicating things like “travel in the direction of migrating birds” “this house will provide shelter for you” and other things. People would put the quilts outside so escaped slaves could get information despite likely not knowing how to read, and people who weren’t part of the effort wouldn’t suspect anything of someone hanging a quilt out to dry
I worked in retail stores and also Authorizations/Fraud Detection for over a decade. If you hear a cashier call for authorization on your credit card for a purchase and they say "Code 10" to the authorizer it means they think the card is stolen or counterfeit. Start running because the cops or security will be there soon!
Or "Department 10" please call...
It's a nice tip😁👍🏼 imma run real fast if that happen
@@Dogeeeee Heck, I don't work for them anymore. Not my circus, not my monkeys. Another tip would be that if you are using a stolen card and stolen ID to make a purchase, don't just memorize the date of birth on the ID. Make sure you know how old that person is too. They're going to ask the date of birth, then a few more questions and then "And, how old are you today?" I lost count of the number of folks I have caught using that one simple trick!
@@Dogeeeee I left another tip but it looks like yt got rid of it so I'm gonna try again. If you happen to be in possession of a piece of plastic belonging to another and you wish to use it make sure to know both the date of birth and the AGE of the owner. Everyone memorizes the dob but they always forget to figure out the age!
Good to know
What if they actually have a Dr. Brown on staff?
I guess they would call for Dr. Martin Brown or Dr. M. Brown 🤷
They use the doctor's first name as well. "Paging Dr. Adam Brown to Pediatrics."

One of the oldest codes is the one used in Triage, a system used in an emergency where there are numerous casualties to determine which receives treatment first. There are 4 codes or statuses used, and these differ depending on the country. In South Africa for example, where I was a paramedic for a time, the codes are: P1 - The patient is still alive, but his/her condition is life-threatening, P2 - Patients who are severely injured, and are immobile due to their injuries (fractures etc.), P3 - Patients that are injured, but not seriously, and P4 - Victims who are either DOA, or are on death's door. If I remember correctly, the US uses colors in their code: P1 = Code Red, P2 = Code Yellow, P3 = Code Green, and P4 = Code Black. Originally there were only 3 colors in the code: the first being for those who would survive without any immediate medical care, the second for those who required immediate car, and the third for those who were unlikely to survive, even with medical intervention. This system began to be in use during the Napoleonic Wars, and was started by a surgeon by the name of Baron Dominique-Jean Larrey.
Another code not mentioned, but similar to “Friend of Bill W” is a “Friend of Dorothy”. In the mid 1900’s, this meant someone who was gay or lesbian. It refers to Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. It’s also associated with “Somewhere over the rainbow” = rainbow = Pride Flag = queer. The flag wasn’t truly codified till later (1970’s, I think), but “Friend of Dorothy” was in use much earlier. An important code phrase when being LGBTQ might mean jail or worse.
One of the hospitals I was at used "Dr. Armstrong come to X location" if one of the patients got out of control. All free strong male staff would go running to that location. All hospitals in general use codes.
What if there was an actual Dr. Armstrong working there?
@@robertabarnhart6240 They would use something else.
@@robertabarnhart6240 Then they'd come up with another code. Healthcare codes aren't universal. In a behavioral facility I used to work in, code green was used for violent residents, code white for escape, etc. Code red and code blue are the only two that are truly universal.

I know 4 secret codes:
IC3: When I worked for walgreens, IC3 was basically the cashier's SOS code. It means "need another register open"
Page 300: This code is used by certain grocery stores to mean "The money services people are here to collect our excess cash"
Code Adam: in major retail chains, Code Adam refers to a missing child, or a child missing their adult.
Angel Shot: If you're on a date at a bar and you feel unsafe, or suspect your drink has been spiked, you can ask the bartender for an Angel Shot. They'll typically take you somewhere private so you can tell them what's going on and if they need to call police.
Lmao... I never wore jewelry of any kind in my life. After i proposed to my wife i wore a cheap black titan ring to get used to the wedding ring.
Now at least i know what false information i was providing for almost 2 years 😂
I did not know that rings carried their own language like flowers.
Except we wear our wedding bands on our left hand, and these coded black rings are worn on the right hand.
@@R.F.9847well, here in Germany we wear wedding bands on our right hand.. so 🤷♂
It's not a super common one. Even in the poly community only about I'd guess a third of the people know about it, and that's the community where it would actually be the most useful. Plus it's not on any finger like the video says, it's specifically the pointer on the right hand.
I don't think any regular person would know anything about it.
Pebkac and ID-10-T made me laugh. I have to use theses on people!
ive always seen those too as a filter I.E. if the user knows what your saying they are probably smart enough to understand some other questions or instructions you might have to fix the system

For four years we had a PIOO in America. Let’s not put him in again!
(Problem in Oval Office)
That tech support one reminded me of the time a friend of mine had to call tech support on a problem with his old computer that he was having a problem he never encountered before, and the tech support employee said the term PEBKAC over the phone. So, he actually said ID-10-T over the phone. The tech support employee was actually more helpful and respectful after that.
If one says it and the other understands it, neither of them are.
I worked in a hospital for almost forty years. Various codes were called, or doctors were paged, that all mean different things. The area I worked in had some extra terms, like HPM or HPF (highly perfumed male/female) to warn staff of patients who were nauseatingly drenched in scent. (This can be overwhelming if you take a patient into a small treatment room.)
People are so thick and full of themselves. I would rather just tell someone that I have a health condition than to come up with a code that allows people to hide their imperfections or illness. Especially, if it could harm another person. If I told someone directly that I had something wrong with me, this should garner respect. I'm not hiding my mistakes at the cost of other people's lives. Life is short, don't put others in danger because you think that you are more important than they. You're just being selfish and arrogant. We can't even work together honestly in this situation. I have a code for these people? The opposite of less on.
What are you even saying. I’ve read your comment three times and am still confused. You can tell whoever you want whatever you want about your health conditions. That’s not what the codes are for. No doctor is going to tell you, you’re at risk of a code blue. They’ll say heart attack
Another code used on the London Underground is ‘one under’. This means that unfortunately someone has fallen on the tracks and has been run over by a train
Holy shoot!!! 😱

At 22:33 FBI is stated but it's the Secret Service that handle counterfeiting.

Yes, it's the secret service. Counterfeiting is regarded that seriously.
@@HO-bndk lol yeah that was their first mission originally.
The Secret Service was originally part of the Treasury Department, along with ATF (tax collection), hence G-men in old movies were sometimes called T-men if they were breaking up stills; also called “revenooers)”.
I believe it was moved to Homeland Security after 9/11, since its other mission is to protect the President and other officials, but I may be mistaken.

When I worked as a casino card dealer, if you had a problem with a player, you would pull the 'paddle'(T-shaped item used to push cash/ bills into tables locked dropbox) and lay it on the table pointing at the problem spot. Surveillance would pick up on it and pass it on to security, Div. of Gaming officer,&/or pit boss and floor supervisors. There is also an ongoing series of 'calls' back and forth between dealer and supervisor(s) for different types of transactions, so bosses can keep a running awareness of how a table's bank is tending,& can come over to 'fix' any misdeals/errors.
*I started my residency in 1981 (which makes me a "PGY-41" (Post Graduate Year). As afr as I know, most coded language is no longer used in hospitals, primarily because of the universal access afforded to Electronic Medical Records ("EMR"s, created by the Obamacare law). Still, my favorites came from the EMS Medics: "HVLP" aka High Velocity Lead Poisoning (shooting); "LVV" Low Velocity Ventilation (stabbing); "NIKA" Not In Kansas Anymore (drug overdoses); "WND" Warm, Not Dead (close to dead, but not likely to survive to the ER). Inside the actual hospital, my personal favorite was "SHPOS" (Sub-Human Piece Of Sh1t), an ER term referring to certain very special patients. I can't remember the vast majority of "quiet abbreviations" any more - between retirement and the Obamacare medical records killing them by 2018, they are lost in time (at least for me).*

3:51 FINALLY I get to learn more about that hobo-code they were talking about in the Loathing games 🤣
I've read a few tales from Cast Members, their code system is quite comprehensive but doesn't, and can't, cover _every_ possible scenario. They have to make up appropriately in-character ones when things have gone _really_ off-script... like if there's a kid running around without pants, "Piglet's on the loose" is the phrase one CM came up with on the fly for it.
Also another tech support one to add to the list: "Layer 8 Problem", based on the OSI networking stack, Layer 1 is physical wires, up to Layer 7 being the user-facing app. Layer 8... is _the user_ (so like PEBKAC or ID-10-T, but fancier). Sometimes it's extrapolated further, if Layer 8 is the user, Layer 9 is the user's boss, or HR, and so on.

Claddagh rings is the name of them. They are specifically designed with a heart held within two hands. They are worn with the point of the heart facing you, meaning that you are spoken for, or with the point of the heart facing away from you indicating that you are available. The rings are from a place in Ireland called Co Galway. I hope that makes sense, Google the Claddagh ring for an image.
Called a claggagh ring. A heart withtwo hands around it, heart pointed towards you means your taken, poi ted out means single.

22:35 In the US, the gov't agency in charge of preventing counterfeiting is the Secret Service, not the FBI.
As an EMT, I can tell you different hospitals use different codes. I've heard code silver or also "Dr. Armstrong" for a security alert
