You're kidnapped and have to ring loved ones and tell them you're fine. How do you signal to them that youre in trouble?

They'll know I'm in trouble because I am ringing them.... lol

The fact that I'm ringing rather than texting would be a fairly big signal, I would've thought.

Nice try, kidnapper! You're not getting my codeword this way!

I would just emphasize that I am fine. I would never do that, my mum would know something is up.

I’d start talking about some things that don’t exist or never happened. That should clue your loved ones in that something’s wrong. Either that, or I’m having a stroke lol.

My SO and I have a code phrase actually, for when the person we’re talking about is walking up right behind us and we need to change the subject. So if I’m talking to my SO, I’d probably throw that in too

If I've already been kidnapped, why would I need to ring the kidnappers?

You should have agreed upon a codeword beforehand.

what?

We have a special word that's a word we would never normally say unless we were quoting Shakespeare.

I'm going to rant about how inclusivity has gone too far, and neurodiversity is just a name for laziness
