Great code word, kinda like the seen a one of the James Bond movie in meeting up with a spy

Spy1: Do you have a match?
Spy2: I use a lighter.
Spy1: Even better.
Spy2: Until it breaks.

If the answer was yes, your good to go

If the answer was who the hell is Dorothy you excuse yourself and go elsewhere.
