Triggers

The complicated aspect of using a trade tongue subtly is knowing when the words count or when they mean what everyone thinks they mean. This is done with triggers to let the other people involved know they are "speaking in tongues". For example in person they could use inflection in voice or additional body languages, like pushing hair behind your ears. The most common method is to use trigger words. These are usually words that are wrong in context. For example Calling someone by the wrong name or handle, quoting food that the crew knows is not desired or referencing fictitious events.
