That person talking about the clock doesn’t realize that everyone understands what they’re talking about
I wish that were true. I have a friend who's a sweetheart but can't read an analog clock for their life, let alone understand clock-based directions.
@@o0Avalon0o alright but knowing how to actually follow the instructions isn't the same as just knowing what they're shorthand for
like if I said 'in one second, divide 187 into 2934'- you'd know what I wanted you to do, you just probably wouldn't be able to do it

You'd be surprised. Many don't know.
Many years ago an iron bridge collapsed in Quebec and many people died due to an engineering blunder. We wear the ring on the pinky of our dominant hand so that it touches every page we touch or sign off on. This is to remind us that we have a responsibility towards protecting the lives we impact through engineering. Wearing the ring is a pledge to uphold honesty, integrity, and professionalism.
Remember reading about that
The rings used to be made from iron from the bridge
That is so cool
Many say this is an urban legend or no evidence? Bummer if that’s the case
@@RedeXebluE No it's true. A bridge did collapse in Quebec and One of the universities started the iron ring ceremony. Now all Canadian Universities have an iron ring ceremony for graduates. I heard that some American universities have started the tradition now too. Every engineer I meet has the iron ring on their pinky. It's also a symbol of pride too, I mean it's pretty tough work becoming an engineer.
There are a few codes we use in sketchy areas and such
“I think I should get a new purse” = someone is eyeing your purse, hold it tightly
“Did you get your nails done?” = I can see someone is following you, either you can follow me or you should have something as a weapon at the ready.
are you body guard or just team leader on theigrls nigh tout? that some cool code
no he is a hitman. I know because i served in the FBI for 69 years and I actually advise Donald Trump on political matters. Yes, he is a reptile, if youre wondering. Yes, Im Cory Baxter from the acclaimed anime, Cory in the House.

When my husband went on his last business flight for work, the plane passengers were surprised when the safety drill was interrupted by the captain telling the cabin crew to be seated. Then the captain said 'Condition One'. A vertical take off followed. My husband believes the captain was told by Air traffic control, 'Take off immediately, because we must shut the airport.' The date was 11th September 2001, and the plane was on it's way to Amsterdam. Condition One means 'Do it immediately.'
wow...interesting story...where did the flight originate?
@@mymixedbiscuit9159 It was from Stansted airport in England. I can remember watching the horrific events as they happened in America - about 14.00hrs in GMT. When my daughter came home, the first thing I said was, 'You'd better go on AOL , to see if your friends are ok.' She said her first thought was 'There's something wrong with the computer' But in those days, I only used it for card games and did not use the internet. Then she saw the news on TV.
it can vary for diff airlines I think

@Just Chilling Daniel I meant that's how it started. Of course everyone knows it now.
I am a minor. Some years ago I had to travel by myself. I was the first one to board the plane. The pilot talked to me for a while and explained all the emergency protocols. The last thing he said was if anyone was bothering, I should order “the double chocolate cake”. This way they would know something was wrong and get me out of that seat.

Aircraft squawk codes are a good one. The ones of note are:
7500 - hijacking
7600 - radio failure
7700 - any other emergency
And also:
Pan-pan: emergency which is no threat to life
Mayday: emergency with immediate threat to life
Truck Driver here! Theres other codes we use on the CB such as “There’s one pointed at you” means there is a cop with a radar gun nearby and to watch your speed. Truck drivers are a brotherhood. I love my profession.
That would be "a bear taking pictures at the 87 yardstick"
Notna trucker but I know some of this. Sometimes there's even a bear in the air. I was told you dim lights to say clear to merge, flash means you did something wrong, unless it's oncoming lanes and then it's a heads up for cops or hazards

Clock one is just obvious I mean it’s always in movies and books
@@jackspy5708 and in video games as well
y'all did realize it was a joke right
@@trevnoneya9767 What was?
Recently a car flashed their lights on and off at me to signal that my headlights were off. Also, in Japan if someone does something nice on the road, like slows down so you can switch lanes, then you put your emergency lights on for two blinks to say "thank you"
Flashing lights as a thanks is common in lots of places - in the UK too (though usually it's just a single flash)
@@nathangamble125 by flash do you mean the bright headlights? In America it doesn't mean thanks at all 😂
These small kind exchanges makes everyone smile.
In Australia, we either flash our light or more commonly raise our hand to say thanks.
I think this thing is common in many countries, however some flashing lights can have different interpretion depending on one's situation. As an example, a car suddenly gets into your lane in front, flash lights on and off to shows how you're a piece of shit that that could've put someone's life in danger. Or if someone is driving in front of us slowly, just flash lights on and off to show that the driver needs to use the other slower lane.
In Eastern Europe emergency lights means "thank you" too
You’re in the club, house music is blasting, when some guy decides to smack a drink out of your hand. A shouting match starts and you can tell that this dude isn’t going to back off. Adrenaline starts rushing through your body, you can feel the strength in your arms suddenly double, when out of nowhere the music stops and you hear lil Jon scream “YEAUHH, OKAY”. In that moment you realize......shits about to go down
Every Cruise Ship has a morgue, many elderly people choose to spend their last weeks, months and sometimes years of cruise ships 😊

Spooky but understandable
Yeah, ironically, often times a cruise ship is cheaper and far nicer than a retirement home so the elderly will often continually buy cruise tickets and die while at sea.
Security codes. Code Adam is for lost child.
Internet in a Nutshell i just saw you below the video of askreddit tells!
@@lasamisalagne7377 lol i saw u too
why don't you just say "someone lost their kid"?
@@CelineCatalina98 I work in retail. We don't announce a lost child because of several reasons: 1. The abductor (if applicable) will realize that we're on to them, potentially causing a panic that could escalate into violence against the child or other customers 2. If the child is simply lost, a potential abductor might become incited by the prospect of a missing child and try to find them before employees.
As a parent and employee, I take Code Adam very seriously. There are predators in this world just waiting for an opportunity, and I'm going to do my part to keep kids safe.
@@CelineCatalina98 they don't want to alert the person who may have kidnapped him that they're on to him, and they don't want people to freak out. Most of the time the kid wandered off to the toy or electronic section, though, but just in case.

3:34 I've been doing the hello nod to everyone I know ,it's just instinct .
Its not that specific. I think it even differs per person. I almost always nod up for hello to strangers, unless I'm wearing a hat.
I do this to most strangers. Same for the up nod, I do that as a way to inform someone to move.
I didn't know anything about this, I just nod at people back if they nod at me.
For me it's usually a nod down as to say hello respectfully to a Stanger/Person in a position of authority, or when I'm agreeing with someone. A nod up is usually a way for me to say what's up to friends or to return it to someone else who did it to me first while crossing paths. That's usually all I use a nod up for because I consider it to be informal so only use it with friends. They can mean other things depending on facial expressions, but I'd rather not get into all that. It's different for many people, and they probably follow their own set of rules unknowingly until they stop to think about it. It's one of those subconscious things.
Same. I do the nod-down for "hello" to strangers, and the nod-up for "what's up" to people I know. But I've never done the aggressive one.
Costco employee here. The price signs have several different codes that only employees and very savvy shoppers know about.
If the price ends in .99, that means the item is being sold at it's normal Costco price, and is usually something we carry often.
If the price ends in .97, that means the item has been marked down.
If the price ends in .00 or .88, that means the manager wants the item sold ASAP and has marked down the price significantly. This is usually reserved for items low in stock or items that have been returned.
If the price ends in .49, .79, or .89 then the manufacturer has given Costco a special promotional deal and you'll be very unlikely to find that product for a cheaper price elsewhere.
If there is an asterisk (*) on the top-right corner of the sign, that means Costco has discontinued the item, and you should stock up before the item is gone for good.
This is true for US stores, but I'm unsure what the rules are in international Costcos.
Worked in membership, can confirm. Also a price ending in 5 means that warehouse doesn't have more coming
What was up with the weirdo talking about grass and decaying citrus
I was wondering that same thing 😂
Have a great Day right!? Like are you talking about drug activity or murder? Instructions unclear
Might be a "unknown" code of sorts for people who know plants. Not that anyone is purposely giving a code but that the fact a type of plant is in an unusual spot or that a place has a plant with special uses may be trying to hide or indicate something. Sometimes I'll see a yard with beautiful plants but the plants themselves are not taken care of or get mowed over/cut down every time it grows which leads me to believe those people didn't live there when they were planted or the occupant is getting old/dead so someone else takes "care" of the yard.
It was the perfect reflection of the pseudo enlightened degenerate redditor

In customer service at my meat market, if we say "we'll be right with you sir" it means "one if my coworkers better hear this and serve you because I'm busy right now."
I'm pretty sure that's what it means at any customer service counter.
@@katherinegarlock2249 yeah me too. But one of my coworkers is blissfully unaware of any "secret messages" and just plugs along doing her own thing or chatting with someone instead of helping.

*secret codes are honestly just inside jokes on a global level*
I live in Alabama and My mom was a waitress for most of my life. I've NEVER heard anyone talk about Canadians while meaning black people? Like, what?
In restaurants “86” means “get rid of it” anything from “86 shrimp” means we are out of shrimp to “86 table 60” means kick out table 60. I work in a kitchen in the south and the “in the weeds” one is beyond true
86 is probably one of the first things you learn when you start working in the service industry. The "Canadian" thing is true too. (I'm in Texas btw) It seems like there is a lot more codes or sayings? It's been an extremely long time though. I will admit, working at a restaurant when you are young is so fun, that's if you have fun people working there too. I wish I could rewind the clock back 20+ years and do it again. Good times!!!
And to be "86'ed" is to be killed, driven out 80 miles, and buried 6ft deep. 😬
In the weeds only means that a lot of orders just came in or something equivalent to being "slammed". It is quite the opposite to "not knowing what the fuck is going on". Someone who is aware of the situation and knows the terminology would use it like "busboy John, help the dishwasher for a minute, 5 tables just left and he is in the weeds."
Here's something else you probably didn't know. The origin of "86" is that the mafia led casinos in Las Vegas would drive you 80 miles into the desert and leave you 6 feet under. That's what it originally meant.
I wish they kicked people out at my restaurant😕
Lmao that one who thought he was bestowing some incredible sacred knowledge on the clock directions. Calm down man, everyone knows that
I detected a hint of sarcasm in that post.
@@tristanssimpson1324 Maybe it was sarcasm, I was really confused why it's on this list. "Maybe they're from a different country," I thought.
How did that post get so many upvotes? I thought using the clock for directions was common knowledge?
It was sarcasm
Someone send that to r/iamverysmart. Multiple ocupations have knowledge of that, the most numerous being anyone who has played a Call of Duty game.
Bruh everyone knows about the "clock and direction" thing
Yeah, i thought that was common sense
And who the hell just calls it out in public at random, and think it's a cool thing? If someone called it out to me, and I didn't know that person, and there wasn't a cop or something dangerous orsomething there I would seriously think about starting some shit with that person.
yare yare daze
@@mickeyrube6623 I'd certainly think they were odd, but I couldn't justify "starting shit" with someone over it. If that's all it takes to make you violent, that could be a problem. You should talk to someone about that.

when my mom says wait till we get home, its code for "your gonna get a beating for making a fuss" oop
We have the same mom
That’s just a threat... 🤣🤣🤣
When I ask my mom for mcdonald's and she says "we have food at home", thats code for "I dont have any money"
You got to get all the way home? Shit my mom would f me up in the car. She wore more rings than Mr. T. When the radio got loud I knew it was time to pay the piper.
At a hospital I was at the codes were:
Code lavender- verbal aggression/ people yelling
Code green- physical aggression/ people fighting
Code blue- medical emergency
The funny part was they usually all happened in this order.
There was also "Dr. Book report to..." This meant a patient was making a run for it. Or as I like to say, they were *booking* it.
no they were BROOKing it
Those codes vary somewhat from hospital to hospital. Most hospitals give employees a code list which goes on their ID tag pin/chain so they can quickly refer to it. Yes, codes should be universal, but there's always some hospital administrator who thinks that he knows better than everyone else in the world.
Code yellow at my mum's hospital means a patient has disappeared or gotten lost somewhere.
Would code aquamarine be a fight AND a medical emergency? Maybe code magenta would be someone yelling while having a medical emergency.
The upward nod (most common among teen boys and young men) is basically the extension of an eyebrow raise - it's usually done instinctually and indicates that we recognize the person and are not hostile toward them. The downward nod is a miniature bow - the equivalent of a polite smile or friendly handshake.
My female cat does this to me all the time though.
i see the downward nod in most anime lol
the male 'nod code' is like,, an every person thing.. like the whole "display of dominance" shit has me rolling no it's just basic human gestures lmfaoo
I think what the person meant was that thing some guys do before a fight, kinda like saying "What's up?"
But I could be wrong

Code Orange is actually called "Code Abraam". You didnt hear it from me.
The favourite one is " Code 66"
It means "The leader of the squad is a traitor kill him. Preferably with the use of gun at the back"
Project Assignment
Male nod code (as far as I understand)
Down nod: a respectful gesture used when someone else does something they approve of, similar to a bow
Up nod: acknowledgment of another's actions/taunt (example being, "try me and see what happens")
Left tilt: usually means "lets move somewhere else" typically used in a noisy area when they are unsatisfied by the location
Right tilt: usually means "check behind me but don't make it obvious"
Most often used at bars when a guy wants the person he's with to be his wing man but can also mean the same thing as a left tilt
Down shake: a disapproving gesture when someone makes a bad choice or fails to do something
Up shake: a disappointed gesture when someone does something they disapprove of (opposite of the down shake)
I like how this is so universal lol
The man nod transcends cultures, languages and generations. You can make peace treaties and war declarations with the same neck muscles contracting.
If you ever feel unsafe whilst on a date or in a club etc. (i.e a woman meeting a man for the first time but you feel there's a sinister alterior motive), go to the bar and 'ask for Angela'.
The staff will then discreetly call you a cab to leave/ escort you out of the fire exit without making too much of a fuss (trusting that they're in the know).
Edit: just found out that in a lot of bars/clubs in the UK have posters inside the girls toilets about the 'Ask for Angela' campaign.

Most people or guys won't know this, but it's for, say if you were meeting up with someone that you met online and they're making you uncomfortable, you tell the person at the desk to call Angela and they come up with a quick excuse for you to get out of there. I'm not totally sure how it works, but still pretty cool.
At many bars they do exactly that, but it varies. You could ask for a sweet lemon martini and that's the code for minimal help, or a extra sweet lemon martini for security or the police. This works quite well in front of the person that's making you uncomfortable.
Yep some bars might have a name listed, or a specific drink you can order which lets the staff know you don't trust the person in your company and you need a safe way out without causing a direct confrontation. If a place does not have something listed, you can always go to the bar and ask
A head nod up to someone you know is "how you doing "
A head nod up to anyone you don't know is a challenge to fight. Usually accompanied with staring.
I was security for a supermarket in the UK. We had a PA code, if there was an unaccompanied child. If we had the parents name, we'd say "call for [insert name] at customer service" there was also a "Staff call for Mr Robinson's" the store never had a Mr Robinson work there, it meant were being robbed.
The hospital codes are different at EVERY HOSPITAL. It all depends on their individual codes.
So that means they basically gave away what hospital they work/worked at lol
You are 100% correct. At my hospital, the colours correspond to sifferent codes
At the hospital my brother was in, he went into a seizure then fell into status. They called a code blue. Glad you said this cause the one in the video confused me
At Walmart “Code White” is for a medical emergency. They called it when o told them not to and I was fine
Here are the rest FYI
White: Injury
Blue: Bomb
Red: Fire
Black: Tornado
Adam: missing child
Orange: Chemical spill or Hazardous materials (Unidentified blood counts.)
Brown: Acts of Violence.
Not sure What Code Management is But every time I hear it its for the cash office.
In my hospital its code blue
However, code silver is an active shooter code almost everywhere else but in my hospital. It means stolen/missing old person
In a hospital it mean aggressive patient
@@TXejas19 Sounds like Code Gray would make more sense.
When I was a stocker, "Code Brown" meant I just took a shit in light bulb isle.
The nod one shook me. I’ve just now read the description for something I’ve done for years without conscious effort to do it. I was never taught, it was just something that came through environment.
When I was in IKEA they sounded Code 99 several times and we had security and some regular employees rush by, open a secret panel in the wall to other section, and disappear beyond. Apparently it means a kid has got lost / separated from the parents.
I’m actually glad EMS uses A high five to signal Hi V... I call it the “high five” cause V is Roman numeral for five, so it’s hi V. The “house in Virginia” is also clever, but not quite as clever as the high five.
Dayum that's clever, didn't draw the link between hiv and hi5/house In VA.
H ouse I n V irginia ... just like Hi~V
OH THATS SO GOOD
Can't think of anywhere else where they still use Roman numerals, besides doctors writing prescription scripts.
@@edwardgaines6561 Roman numerals appear in building cornerstones and movie credits and titles. They are also used in names of monarchs, popes, ships and sporting events, like the Olympics and the Super Bowl. Roman numerals are used in astronomy to designate moons and in chemistry to denote groups of the Periodic Table.
"In the weeds" isn't code, that's an old saying!
I'm getting slammed, Im in the weeds etc
No theyre saying it AS a code for a particular restaurant..of course its an old saying but in this instance it's a code for "i need help" 😂
On the London underground, if you hear a PA announcement requesting a "Inspector Sands", that's code for a fire on the premises.
No it's a general distress call

That bit was pretty funny, dude thought he was Aragorn just because his nose is functional.
He's like the citrus tree version of a truffle pig
He was hinting at something he shouldn't have. If you don't know that code already, you shouldn't and it's not for public use. You'd never need it either.

The next time you see an ad, be it a poster, a flyer, etc. Look closely at it. For example, an ad for a shampoo.
It claims to "reduce" dandruff, but at the end of that statement at the top right, next to it, is an opoosite sign in extremely fine print, in this case, a minus or negative sign will be found. Give it a try.
10:25 I like how he mentioned knocking out a telephone wire for the US digging thing but didn't use the more important example of hitting a gas line and literally exploding the entire neighborhood and then some. Just funny because he seemed like thats why it was important to call that...like youre neighbor would just so happen to be needing to call 911 at that moment...as someone that use to work in this field you are 100 percent more likely to hit a gas line and murder everyone in a 5 mile radius.😂 i beleive he is the fool.
I didn't know the hospital one but I sure learned quick when a code purple was called followed with a shooter alert I was just sitting there until someone grabbed me and ran outside
I owe them my life
Code purple's a missing child though 🤔
@@3User i thought that was code pink?
Maybe the missing child got kidnapped by the shooter? Either way it’s a dangerous situation

Different hospital uses different codes.
Some common semi truck speak (I'm not a driver so this might be wrong):
Little cub: Local Police
Bear Trap : Speed trap
Big bear: State Trooper
Bear with a victim: Police with someone pulled over
Evel Knievel: Motorcycle police
Meat Wagon: Ambulance
Bear rolling discos: Police with lights & siren on
Buster Brown: UPS Truck
Angry Kangaroo: A truck/car with its lights out
Bear Bait: A speeding driver
County Mountie : Sheriff
Put the hammer down : press on the vehicle accelerator pedal
Sky Honkler Yoo. Came here to say exactly what you said. Definitely grew up hearing bear and polar bear.
I was driving once late at night and a car coming from the opposite direction flashed it's lights EIGHT times at me. I spent the next 20 minutes thinking about what that could have been code for. Then I pulled into a gas station to fill up. When I got out of the car, there was one of those prosthetic hook hands on the outside door handle with some blood dripping off it. The more you know.
Brian Pan whattt?!?!?
@@kurthoward3099 man hook car door hook hand
im so confused
In response to the hospital codes some of those are out of date here are updated one
Code red: Fire
Code blue: cardiac/respiratory arrest
Code white: pediatric medical emergency
Code grey: behavioral situation
Code pink + age + sex is missing person
Code triage: external/internal disaster
Code orange: hazardous contamination
Code yellow: Bomb threat
Really depends a lot on the hospital.
I made my own knock code (not released yet):
2 knocks: Your package/mail has arrived
3 knocks: A visitor
4 knocks: An emergency

If you turn off the lights and flash a UV light on some licences then it shows a number
Yep, that’s it
what does the number mean
Jackson Roberts I just did this. My license has a photo of me that only shows up in uv light. Also the Golden Gate Bridge shows up "through the fog" and the sailboats light up the same color as the bridge. Along with my date of birth lighting up in the main picture of me.
Woah
I'm assuming it's like the bills having watermarks, it's so that the officer can check if it's real. Maybe that's why they take your license back to their car for a little bit when pulled over
you can also do this with Visa cards, the Visa logo should light up a big V

A code silver in hospitals is an elderly person with altered mental status that has wandered away... at least in my area
Well the whole “male nod” thing, the upward nod sort of depends on the facial expressions as well. If I see my buddy I’m gonna give him a smile and wear more of a “hey what’s up” look on my face. If someone I know is or may be trouble is walking towards me with an aggressive posture, I’m going to give them a little squint of the eyes, slight turn of my head, and have a more aggressive posture to my nod, differentiating the “hi! What’s up brother!?) from the.. “sup mother fucker!? We about to have a problem? Cuz if so I’m ready!” nod

I saw truckers flash their hazards to denote 'thank you' and have started doing it both on the job (armored trucks) and in my personal time.
Flashing your high beams has always been a more effective way of saying "go ahead" than waving your hand. We can't see your hand a lot. It's hidden under the glare of your windshield. Don't look at me like I'm an idiot for not going because I can't see you wave.
Also, you may not realize it, but those hazards I mentioned earlier, they serve another purpose. That's right, they're called _directionals_ most of the time. You use them to denote which way you'd like to go. No, they do not mean "speed up so I can't get in the lane". I'm convinced people don't use their directionals on purpose because other drivers are assholes.

I’ve been living in the south my whole life and have never heard of waiters and waitresses using ‘canadians’ when they’re talking about black people. Usually when they say Canadians they’re talking about Canadians. If they’re racist they’re usually pretty upfront about it and use other words. Definitely no “Canadians” tho whoever wrote that is actually stupid.
It's not a southern thing. It's entirely a northern thing - more specifically in New England. I'm familiar with working food service in downtown Boston. The specific term used was "Southern Canadians". Why it was used that way I don't know. I'm from the midwest and had never heard the term until becoming familiar with Massachusetts. But I can say that the term was almost never used in a positive way. Waiters want tips. Money talks very loud to service sector workers. So experienced waiters would cut hosts and hostesses in on a small tip percentage to put the "Southern Canadians" in a newer waiters section because they stereotypically made you work the hardest (complain a lot, spilled things, overstayed the table turn times, many other problems) and tipped poorly or sometimes not at all. The worst situation I know about was a new waiter of 2 months on the job getting a party of 20 because the experienced servers forced them into his section. They demanded all of his time, upset the adjacent guests who left small tips themselves out of annoyance (ppl frequently take out their frustrations on their server, whether deserved or not) and then stayed in his section for nearly 3 hours sapping all his energy and leaving him no tip - going so far as to complain to management to get the automatic gratuity removed from the bill. And then on top of all that, one of them ended up filing a service complaint getting him a disciplinary reprimand the next day! He'd have been better off claiming illness to his manager the moment they were seated in his section and leaving "sick". On the flip side the servers loved people from Europe. Tipping is not a thing over there so many of them didn't understand it and would overcompensate so as not to appear cheap. They'd pay the auto-gratuity imbedded in the bill and then fill in a value by hand on the bottom of their check.
