Call Signs

Received this email from the Texan, pretty funny jargon, I suggest we all pick it up.

alright, so here's a breakdown of my most recent call sign directives for handling women:
1) no joy - she's not feeling it. i don't see the signs, or i can't find the girl. i'm out unless i see something.

2) danger close - there might be something wrong with this girl. proceed with caution.

3) weapons free - she's down to get down. take yourself off safety and make it happen.

4) inbound bogie/bandit - unwanted third party approaching. homely colleague or boyfriend. wingman assistance required.

5) call the ball - mission accomplished.

6) bug out - something's gone wrong. i'm out.

7) contact - engaged a female. let's see where this goes. still reading signs.

8) bingo fuel - running out of game. need wingman assistance.

i encourage you all to supplement these directives with some of your own. more importantly, i implore you to commit these to memory (especially 1-3) -- they may just save your life some day.

Not a bad system, I think it should be reduced to 5 digits (one hand) for easy communication. Which means we need to strike three off the list.

First to go is #7. It's obvious and unneeded. We are all aware that you are engaging a female to see where things will go.

Next to go is #5. An obvious thumbs up or hail of a cab will sufficiently inform others that the mission is accomplished. Let's not complicate things.

#6 also doesn't make the cut. Although useful information to convey, many facial expressions can express this.

This revised list should make it easy for anyone to communicate with one hand. I would also like to give props for #8 which is very necessary.

although i dont think he considers the extra contextual value of these signs, i think hes right on a number of issues

#6, for example would not make much sense at the bar, but would in a funny phone convo or text

example: yo im buggin out where u
response: s club

also, if im talking to a friend, i could say "made contact but had to bug out once she farted"

"Texan, over and out"

im gonna start putting these in my gmail info so yall know whats up

dude

we could come up with call signs for girls we are after and then put these into our ginfo so that we constantly keep up with each other

"alright, so im after this korean chick at work, but shes being dodgy: no joy on work wok"
