I knew a woman who "rode the rails" during the Great Depression at age 14. I asked her about sexual assault, and she told me that the male hoboes were always perfect gentlemen. None of them ever did anything that was inappropriate for dealing with a 14-year-old girl. That was a shock, but she lived through it and was not a liar.

Years ago, I was talking about secret codes with my father - who was a paramedic - and apparently Medical personnel and First Responders have far more code words than this! They no longer use "DOA" in front of the families of patients or victims, thanks to too many TV shows telling everyone what it means, so they'll say things like "DOS" ("Dead On Sight" or "Dead On Scene"), "DRT" ("Dead Right There") or "DRD" ("Dead Right Dere") instead. And hospital staff will secretly alert each other to a patient's death with phrases like "Transferred to the ETC" ("Eternal Care Unit"), "Transferred to the X Floor" (where X = the number of floors in the hospital +1, so "Transferred to the 11th Floor" in a hospital which only has ten floors means "Gone to Heaven"), "Healthy Tumor/Goober" (patient just died from cancer), "Transferred to Sublevel M" (the morgue), "Patient [assuming/transitioning to] RT" ("Room Temperature") or "TMB" ("Too Many Birthdays," patient dead from old age or old-age-related maladies).

What you are calling a drifter is specifically the Hobo lifestyle. Hobos actually had complex ethics and were rather willing to work to earn their keep, opposed to tramps, who traveled but avoided work, and a bum neither travels or works. One of the most fascinating things was their rules regarding runaway children: they would always strive to help a child in need, and would encourage them to return home.
@@Thenogomogo-zo3un unfortunately, yes. I noticed a major shift around y2k~ as far as it all goes with younger people. I call it "new school "ME first." Kinda attitudes.
I read an anecdote from a Disney World employee. They'd seen a naked toddler take a dump in public and run off. Not remembering the proper code, they reported, "We have a Code Pooh, and Piglet is on the loose."
My first job as an RN after graduation was at a level one trauma center. One of the official abbreviations (the only kind you were allowed to use in charting) was GOK - God Only Knows. Used when the doctors were clueless about the cause or treatment of a condition. My Dad used to tell me about the symbols carved into the gate post at his childhood home’s back fence that meant hobos could find a free meal there. Despite not having much (it was the Depression era) themselves his mother never turned anyone in need of food away.
Also..before Col Sanders passed? The original Kentucky fried chicken (Not PepsiCo KFC)- there was Only one left down south last time I checked ) but..the Og ones? If anyone came in and said they were hungry? It was a Rule that they would be given a meal for doing a little work. Col sanders actual son died of starvation on the road.
5:03 My Grandmother had lived by train tracks growing up [born 1916] and she told me about these signs. Her mother would feed the people who asked. There was a building by their house, and as I recall it did have a symbol on it. Unfortunately I don’t remember what it was. My Grandmother’s house where she grew up is no longer there unfortunately. Thanks for sharing!!
my grandmother did too, she grew up in the great depression era on a farm, right by train tracks and their house had symbols on it and so did other farmhouses around there. And one symbol was a cat. So someone was helping the homeless train riders. Also she met my grandfather that way too, because he rode the train past her house all the time. But he wasn’t a hobo, he was in the military.
Agreed. Have not worked in hospitals, but been in hospital as a patient many times for fire, code red. For violent patient code gray.. code blue, someone is practically dead and needs immediate help like CPR. That’s all I’m remembering at the moment. Correct me if I’m wrong.
@@BlinkOnWheels the codes where I work are: Code Adam: infant/child abduction Code black: bomb threat Code blue: adult arrest Code brown: missing adult person Code grey: severe weather Code green: hospital evacuation plan Code orange: hazardous material/ radiation plan Code pink: infant/child arrest Code purple: bioterroism/ weapons of mass destruction Code red: fire Code silver: person with weapon/hostage situation Code violet: violent/combative person Code yellow: disaster [internal or external]
As someone who is a frequent flyer at hospitals, that code for security varies. It can be a code strong, if it’s in psychiatric ward, it could be a code silver, if it’s an armed assailant, but it depends on the region and the health care group. Also depends on the nation.
@@gtbkts true. It's just that, I feel like some people will go looking for this in their region, and be upset when it's not the same code. Just warning the people that took this video a little too literally
And when you think about it, all those codes do make perfect literal sense of a sort. The names tend to relate to the action. Not much actual decoding to do at all.
Also, in Canada, hospitals use codes based on colours and here’s what those codes mean: Code Blue- Heart/Respiration stop, patient needs CPR Code Red- Fire Code Yellow- Missing patient Code Pink- Infant missing from the NICU Code Brown- Chemical spill Code White- Combative patient Code Black- Bomb threat Code Silver- Firearm threat Code Aqua- Flood Code Green- Evacuation in progress Code Orange- Mass casualties, expect multiple patients Code Omega- A patient has lost a dangerous amount of blood and needs an immediate transfusion
While staying in the hospital I heard "Dr. Strong to room..." And i asked the nurse if they really had a doctor with the last name of strong, she laughed and said "no, that's the code when a patient is getting physical and they need help holding them down" 🙂
@@DarkRose0523 naw I heard all the code colors when walking down stairs to go smoke outside. Chime would go off then a automated voice would sound off the code color. 🙂
"Fires don't take place on the Tube very often" Wesley, I am a Londoner who takes the train on a daily basis. I had TWO 'Inspector Sands' announcements last week, and the tube staff told me to my face that there was a fire in my station. Old Street is quite a popular station for locals and commuters such as myself, too. Small station fires here are not rare, not at all. But only the major fires that require the LFB are ever mentioned on the news.
Combination of English carelessness with litter and sparks from third/fourth rail power system, along with inadequate ventilation allowing buildup of flammable dust. When living in London I preferred to take my chances with the roads if possoble.
@@TurnipstalkLondon fires I've never had that code ever. I've seen mock bomb once where the head staff, placed it to make sure staff were on the look out. Tube staff are amazing people and very good at looking after passengers too. That said the black cab drivers are brilliant too. You are more likely to encounter suicides jumping in front of trains atm. This happens a lot.
You're partially right. Small fires on the Tube can happen very often, but the timing depends. It could range from four times a week to once every few months and so on. That means how often you hear "Inspector Sands" depends on how often small fires happen.
volume of passengers, frequent trains, amount of trackage…fires are guaranteed to happen several times a week just from litter and debris on the tracks alone
Been in retail for around 6 years, and in almost every store I worked at, if we caught someone who was acting sus, we would make an announcement on the intercom stating "Security check, Line 1" to deter them from stealing anything (I mostly worked in sketchy areas, which I usually didn't know until later on as I was still new to the area, or I applied for the job as a last resort, so it was pretty common to hear it being announced). Later on, the MOD (manager on duty) would check the cameras, and if they did steal something, the MOD would call the authorities and have them trespassed from the property.
Travelling to and from work on the London Underground for over 45 years, I can tell you that, up untill recently, a bucket of sand was hooked on the wall of every platform and corridor. The buckets are gone, but you can still find the brackets on the walls.
@@samschmit7181 I've heard it too. Generally "Doctor Post" referred to an interesting post mortem going on. Someone once told me that "Doctor Mortimer Post" was used, but I never heard that one.
While in the hospital with family visiting my grandmother, the skies started getting really dark and there were tornado watches starting in the area. In this wing, all the patient rooms had one side entirely of glass so we had a great view of the darkening skies. We asked a nurse about where we'd go if there was a tornado. She said there's no tornado danger right now, if there were a tornado warning they'd have announced a "CODE WHITE" over the intercom. Not 30 seconds later, we hear Code White! Code White! over the intercom. Instantly the staff scramble to roll all the patients into the hallway and close the room doors, to protect us from flying glass if windows start to get broken. Nobody was told what was happening, and we may have been the only patients/visitors that knew what was going on. I don't know if that's a universal hospital code but it fits in with their other "color codes" like Code Blue etc.
No it's not a universal code. I believe each hospital/medical facility has their own sets of codes. Google some different medical facilities if you're that interested. 🏥
Re: Inspector Sands. It is also used at London Mainline stations too. Have heard it at London Waterloo during a fire alarm test. There is also another code for terrorist activity.
Idk, i disagree with the people in these comments saying revealing the codes is a mistake. Coz knowing the codes isnt the problem. its how you, as a person, react to them. If you hear "inspector sands" and start screaming "omg that means fiirreee everyone get out!!" Then ofc thats gonna be bad and cause panic. But if you hear it but still ignore it and act normal then there wont be any issues. So yeah, knowing the codes isnt bad. Its how you react to them if you hear them irl.
Now, you know them ... but what about in 10 minutes? do you still know it then? what about tomorrow or in a week, or next year when you actually go to London?
@@NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEJ exactly that too! People are too sassy over codes in a youtube video, like, chill 😂 like I said, knowing them or not isn't an issue 😂
Lmao... I never wore jewelry of any kind in my life. After i proposed to my wife i wore a cheap black titan ring to get used to the wedding ring. Now at least i know what false information i was providing for almost 2 years 😂
During my Airforce days as an avionics tech on jet aircraft, we had some codes. "CND" meant "could not duplicate", if the tech couldn't get the reported problem to appear. A "Short Between The Headsets" indicated the pilot was the problem. "Midnight Acquisition" meant we visited another maintenance unit's turf at night, to "liberate" some part that we needed and didn't want to have to await delivery through the supply system. 😅
1187-B Loose nut behind control. There was also another one for "bird strike damage" that we would use as well, but I don't remember the number, 979, or something like that. US Navy.
When I lived in Milwaukee I worked for Miller, and we would respond to those pages so we could introduce those people to a crisp refreshing frosty golden Miller Genuine Draft.
I used to work for Simplex (later Tyco, not the toy company) who made fire alarm systems. I worked on the audio portion of the system and there were two fire alarm announcements for a hospital. Doctor Firestone was one and the other was Doctor Blaze. It's up to the hospital to determine which one means what.
My thought as well. Having three hidden codes to decrypt and watching all those specialist going nuts over not finding a solution to the fourth one would be one of the funniest way to troll an inteligence agency; they wouldn't be able to atop trying.
Another code used on the London Underground is ‘one under’. This means that unfortunately someone has fallen on the tracks and has been run over by a train
Claddagh rings is the name of them. They are specifically designed with a heart held within two hands. They are worn with the point of the heart facing you, meaning that you are spoken for, or with the point of the heart facing away from you indicating that you are available. The rings are from a place in Ireland called Co Galway. I hope that makes sense, Google the Claddagh ring for an image.
Working at a pet store, if a pet is loose and running around freely, we say "Code Fluffy" so we don't alarm any customers. It is used fairly often. Another one we use is "Code Timmy", which means a child is missing in the store. This one, thankfully, i've never heard or used.
I know about a few of the code phrases used by medical personnel since my dad is a paramedic and my older sister is a nurse. They have no shortage of stories from their jobs, and some were really funny 😅
I've worked in IT for almost 20 years, and I don't know that I've ever actually seen a help desk person use pebcak or id-10-t, or similar, with an actual user. It's fun to talk or joke about sometimes, but a huge majority of folks are just decent people and treat others with respect and a lot of patience.
I've been tech support or support-adjacent most of my working life (more than 30 years at this point), and I've also never heard anyone use PEBCAK or ID-10T to a user. I've heard them use it to EACH OTHER as shorthand for "user error, not worth going into detail" many times. "That guy I transferred to you, what did his problem turn out to be?" "Oh, ID-10T error." I've also heard a borrowing from aviation terminology used: "Controlled flight into terrain" for problems like a user putting the command to open a terminal window in their .profile or .cshrc file.
I've seen it a couple times but it's such a risk to do it's rare. One got a person that was very unpleasant so had him enter a code in one of the advance settings that was the correct code then # to tell it to ignore everything after that then F1_1ck1ngID10T and he called back to let a supervisor know he is not. The other was an agent describing what the person was experiencing and another rep jokingly said it sounded like an ID10T error which the agent relayed to the caller not knowing what it meant but the caller did. Apparently that became a very spirited sup call.
19:54 "This gives the staff the all clear while allowing the customers to go back in and enjoy their meatballs blissfully unaware that they where briefly at risk of blowing up" i know what you actually meant but the first thought that came to mind was that the meatballs where the ones at risk of blowing up lol
The FLK designation usually means there is probably a neurological problem with the child that may indicate a problem that will affect learning and/or motor or cognitive issues. Often these problems aren’t real obvious, but show up as something just being off
Got one for ya. If you hear "Mr. Leo to (location)" over the airport intercom, they're calling a cop to that location. Had one funny situation where a passenger by the name Leo was being paged like this.
I also don't need code words because everybody is going to die one day and everybody gets ill at some point. So please don't use code words, just talk about me and accept that words are just words. We put meaning into words if we want to put meaning into them.
I was an armorer in the army. I would get a soldier saying their weapon was malfunctioning. After inspecting and firing it, most of the time it was an “operator head spacing issue”. 😂 22:37 Yes. Yes they will. Ask my cousin. 😂😂😂😂
Other medical "codes", GOMER = Get Out Of My Emergency Room - basically an obstreperous or difficult patient or one that is a pain to handle. DS = "Drug Seeker". ETKM = "Every Test Known to Man" When a patient has had the run of tests, the DX (diagnosis) and the DDX (differential diagnosis) could be GOK = "God Only Knows". A "crock" is a patient that is really REALLY sick (short for broken crockery). and then, at the very end, the patient can be said to be "circling the drain". Q-sign means the patient is comatose or completely out of it. The letter Q looks like an open mouth with a tongue hanging out. Now one that COULD get families upset, if they see it on the patient's chart, but is actually not an insult is SOB. Shortness of Breath! "Gorked" is another term for Q-sign.
My dad had a secret code with his friend when they were kids. They'd whistle to each other to communicate if they could visit or not. My dad showed the whistle. It was REALLY REALLY LOUD.
my dad used whistle really really loud to tell us when to come home at sundown as kids, even if we were a mile away we could hear it, it was crazy, I can't even whistle at all.
ive always seen those too as a filter I.E. if the user knows what your saying they are probably smart enough to understand some other questions or instructions you might have to fix the system
I worked in retail stores and also Authorizations/Fraud Detection for over a decade. If you hear a cashier call for authorization on your credit card for a purchase and they say "Code 10" to the authorizer it means they think the card is stolen or counterfeit. Start running because the cops or security will be there soon!
@@Dogeeeee Heck, I don't work for them anymore. Not my circus, not my monkeys. Another tip would be that if you are using a stolen card and stolen ID to make a purchase, don't just memorize the date of birth on the ID. Make sure you know how old that person is too. They're going to ask the date of birth, then a few more questions and then "And, how old are you today?" I lost count of the number of folks I have caught using that one simple trick!
@@Dogeeeee I left another tip but it looks like yt got rid of it so I'm gonna try again. If you happen to be in possession of a piece of plastic belonging to another and you wish to use it make sure to know both the date of birth and the AGE of the owner. Everyone memorizes the dob but they always forget to figure out the age!
One of the hospitals I was at used "Dr. Armstrong come to X location" if one of the patients got out of control. All free strong male staff would go running to that location. All hospitals in general use codes.
@@robertabarnhart6240 Then they'd come up with another code. Healthcare codes aren't universal. In a behavioral facility I used to work in, code green was used for violent residents, code white for escape, etc. Code red and code blue are the only two that are truly universal.
I worked at ikea, and the store I was at would say 'code 1000' to signify a possible store evacuation. Shortly followed by a robotic voice saying 'your attention please, we're experiencing technical difficulties and need you to make an immediate exit from the store. Our staff will guide you to the nearest exit.'
Here is an interesting note : The song "D.O.A." ( "DEAD ON ARRIVAL" ) was recorded by Texas hard rock group BLOODROCK in the early 1970's and "Uncle Charlie" ( the F.C.C. ) tried to have it banned from radio airplay due to its graphic and macabre lyrics about a man who initially survives an airplane crash but then dies on the way to the hospital . It was said that BLOODROCK singer JIM RUTLEDGE saw a friend of his board a plane , which crashed shortly after take off and this incident inspired him to write that song .
As the child of 2 doctors, I must say this. Most doctors don’t talk about patients like that in front of them. (At least in the hospitals I’ve worked in and my parents have worked in) And the term FLK is usually referring to people with fetal alcohol syndrome. Which is a syndrome that occurs if a mother drinks alcohol while pregnant. It is different the amount of alcohol consumption required to cause FAS in every woman. Some it takes 50 rounds, others it could just be a single cup. Best just to say away from alcohol all together when pregnant. Yes FLK does still mean funny looking kid, but if you look up what FAS does to the facial structure you can see why
My understanding of fetal alcohol syndrome is that it is caused by when the mother drink's alcohol, which is why one "timely" drink may cause it or one of fifty drinks over time may cause it. Just my 2 cents!
Yes that is correct, it is more common in women who have children in their 30s and older. Having children in the at time also just increases the likelihood of developmental disorders in general. Mainly Down syndrome
I work at a Walmart. Everyone probably knows about Code Adam, missing child. But most of the rest of the codes are colors. Code White, for example, is a customer accident. And if you hear a cashier talk about Bob and Lisa, it's a reminder to check the bottom of the basket and look inside all.😊
Hospital codes can vary drastically. An urgent call for security at my first job was a code orange. At my current job you dial their number or press the button on the security device we all wear. Code red at my 1st job meant there was a trauma coming in where the patient may need a large amount of blood. It signaled the blood bank to get it prepared. Code red at my current job means there’s a fire or smoke. Hospital alert codes are definitely not one size fits all. And there’s no widely used acronym for ugly kids 🤦🏽♀️ Nor would any smart physician say it in front of the parents. Not only is it rude, but it’s unethical and could get them fired.
I worked in a hospital for almost forty years. Various codes were called, or doctors were paged, that all mean different things. The area I worked in had some extra terms, like HPM or HPF (highly perfumed male/female) to warn staff of patients who were nauseatingly drenched in scent. (This can be overwhelming if you take a patient into a small treatment room.)
People are so thick and full of themselves. I would rather just tell someone that I have a health condition than to come up with a code that allows people to hide their imperfections or illness. Especially, if it could harm another person. If I told someone directly that I had something wrong with me, this should garner respect. I'm not hiding my mistakes at the cost of other people's lives. Life is short, don't put others in danger because you think that you are more important than they. You're just being selfish and arrogant. We can't even work together honestly in this situation. I have a code for these people? The opposite of less on.
What are you even saying. I’ve read your comment three times and am still confused. You can tell whoever you want whatever you want about your health conditions. That’s not what the codes are for. No doctor is going to tell you, you’re at risk of a code blue. They’ll say heart attack
I'm from Glasgow.. If I'm ever in the theatre and hear that I know there will be a fire lmaooo thanks Be Amazed for teaching me a part of my homes history ❤️
At the mental rehab facility I was in in Florida, a code green meant there was a patient being disorderly, a code yellow meant a physical fight, and a code red meant a full on patient uprising, basically a riot. If they said "little" before the color it meant it was in the underage section of the building. I heard all of them at least once...
When you said “Inspector Sands” I kept hearing “Inspector sans”, and now I’m just thinking about sans as a fireman. Papyrus would probably try to feed it spaghetti. “MAYBE IT’S JUST REALLY HUNGRY! MY SPAGHETTI WILL CALM IT DOWN!”
Suggesting that the issue is not with the computer but with the person isn't an insult. Next time that user calls the other members would be aware and handle them accordingly. Even so, it isn't any more of an insult than calling a baby FLK
My favorite medical one is CTD. It stands for "circling the drain" and is very descriptive of a doomed patient who is going downhill, slowly at first, and then more and more rapidly towards the end.
A long time ago one of the local radio stations I listened to (I think it was Piccadilly Radio in Manchester, UK) used to play 'Flowers In The Rain' to signal that there was a fire in the studio.
Flk I know (retired RN) Once a Dr accidentally charted it! Thankfully I was able to stop him and that was the first orders on the page so he was able to rewrite it. It just means the baby has a syndrome that isn't known.

The hobo code wasn't secret. I actually read all about it in a reading book in 4th grade. That sparked my interest in secret codes. That same book told about other similar codes, such as ones used in the wilderness to mark trails. Edgar Allen Poe wrote about codes. Sherlock Holmes had a case about the code of the dancing men, which was a simple substitution cipher. On the police scanner, alcohol would be referred to as "ETOH" for ethyl alcohol (drinking alcohol). If there was a drunk driver, they would sometimes say that there was a short circuit between the steering wheel and the gas pedal. All of us older people learned "10-4" from the TV show "Highway Patrol" with Broderick Crawford. In the 1970s, one of the bread companies had a date code consisting of colored twist ties. Bread delivered on Monday had a blue twist tie, green was Tuesday, etc. The local sandwich company had a single letter on each sandwich telling the day it was made for. The code was the word "BREAD" spelled backward, so Monday's sandwiches had "D" stamped on the label. We learned about Morse code in school also.
That tech support one reminded me of the time a friend of mine had to call tech support on a problem with his old computer that he was having a problem he never encountered before, and the tech support employee said the term PEBKAC over the phone. So, he actually said ID-10-T over the phone. The tech support employee was actually more helpful and respectful after that.
I was a "Code Blue" during a hospital stay in 2002. Four nurses with a "Crash Cart" flew into my room. My oh my did I get attention!! At least I'm still alive...
For what it's worth, the two most common codes in hospitals that just about everybody recognizes are code red for fire and code blue for medical emergency. When I was a hospital employee back in the late '90s and early 2000s, we had a few codes we had to modify... For example, "code strong" had to be changed to "code yellow" to call for security/help restraining a violent or unsafe person because we got a Dr. Strong on incoming staff... 🙂
Just so you know... The codes you mentioned for cruies ships are only with some American companies. I've worked on cruise ships for many years as a musician and although I'm american I've mainly worked with European companies. And although these things happened. The codes were different. For instance on one of the Thomson (Now Marella) ships which was British and the ship was regestered in Greece. The code for a medical Emergency was code Alpha. AND... unless something has changed. If a passenger dies they have to bring the body back to the port of origin.
In the 90s I had copied some money to send to a sweepstakes that kept dragging on the prize announcement and I had no problem. It turned out just fine. So it's probably just newer bills and newer copiers.
I thought the same thing. If you have an older printer/scanner/copier that still works, BEFORE it could recognize the lines and circles on currency, then it should be able to make copies or print it out
Age matters as anti copy tech gets added to stop people from doing what they do. Similarly it used to be easy to copy rented VHS tapes but later VCRs added anti-copy systems so official tapes would produce unwatchable copies.
I've read that FLK is no longer used in records. Now that patients have access to their medical records on-line such slang expressions may be frowned on. That doesn't mean they're completely gone. It's just that if you see the same expression used in records by several doctors you can usually find out if they have a special meaning. For example, "pleasant lady" means a patient was communicative and responded to social cues,
6:09 when I was younger for some reason I imagined staff workers dressed up in hazmat suits, holding hose and spraying ash all over the guests as it's not fog, but ash.
I had a gentleman ask me if I was in the rooms, I had no clue what he was talking about and then he apologized and told me it was aa/na meetings. I never heard anyone else ever say that again and I don’t ever remember anyone asking if I/someone knew bill w. Either. I have been around numerous people who are or were in meetings.
I used to work in a supermarket in the uk and if they needed you they called you by name but 2 were Mr White to customer service means managers that are close or not busy come to Cus Service desk/ entrance n others be ready, Mr Black to CSD meant all managers n security drop what you're doing n get there 2 mins ago, usually a fight or shoplifter
Traveling folks still Mark locations with information about whether it's possible to get food at places whether it's possible to get work at certain places. Whether it's possible to panhandle where it's legally and handled all kinds of shit.
I knew a woman who "rode the rails" during the Great Depression at age 14.
I asked her about sexual assault, and she told me that the male hoboes were always perfect gentlemen. None of them ever did anything that was inappropriate for dealing with a 14-year-old girl. That was a shock, but she lived through it and was not a liar.
Same in Australia.

Interesting, started running away at 14. The homeless people showed me where to go and what to. Also, who to stay away from.
Years ago, I was talking about secret codes with my father - who was a paramedic - and apparently Medical personnel and First Responders have far more code words than this!

And hospital staff will secretly alert each other to a patient's death with phrases like "Transferred to the ETC" ("Eternal Care Unit"), "Transferred to the X Floor" (where X = the number of floors in the hospital +1, so "Transferred to the 11th Floor" in a hospital which only has ten floors means "Gone to Heaven"), "Healthy Tumor/Goober" (patient just died from cancer), "Transferred to Sublevel M" (the morgue), "Patient [assuming/transitioning to] RT" ("Room Temperature") or "TMB" ("Too Many Birthdays," patient dead from old age or old-age-related maladies).
Our local ambulance company uses the code "K" to represent a deceased person.

What you are calling a drifter is specifically the Hobo lifestyle.

I knew people that selfless once. They were good friends.
@@Thenogomogo-zo3un unfortunately, yes. I noticed a major shift around y2k~ as far as it all goes with younger people. I call it "new school "ME first." Kinda attitudes.
I read an anecdote from a Disney World employee. They'd seen a naked toddler take a dump in public and run off. Not remembering the proper code, they reported, "We have a Code Pooh, and Piglet is on the loose."
My first job as an RN after graduation was at a level one trauma center.
One of the official abbreviations (the only kind you were allowed to use in charting) was GOK - God Only Knows. Used when the doctors were clueless about the cause or treatment of a condition.
My Dad used to tell me about the symbols carved into the gate post at his childhood home’s back fence that meant hobos could find a free meal there. Despite not having much (it was the Depression era) themselves his mother never turned anyone in need of food away.
Very Cool Woman! If that doesn't get you to Heaven, NOTHING WILL! That's if you believe there is a Heaven though!

Also..before Col Sanders passed? The original Kentucky fried chicken (Not PepsiCo KFC)- there was Only one left down south last time I checked ) but..the Og ones? If anyone came in and said they were hungry? It was a Rule that they would be given a meal for doing a little work. Col sanders actual son died of starvation on the road.
5:03 My Grandmother had lived by train tracks growing up [born 1916] and she told me about these signs. Her mother would feed the people who asked. There was a building by their house, and as I recall it did have a symbol on it. Unfortunately I don’t remember what it was. My Grandmother’s house where she grew up is no longer there unfortunately. Thanks for sharing!!
my grandmother did too, she grew up in the great depression era on a farm, right by train tracks
and their house had symbols on it and so did other farmhouses around there. And one symbol was a cat. So someone was helping the homeless train riders.
Also she met my grandfather that way too, because he rode the train past her house all the time. But he wasn’t a hobo, he was in the military.
As someone who worked in a hospital, I’ve never heard the ones mentioned. The most common ones are colors or code Adam.
Agreed. Have not worked in hospitals, but been in hospital as a patient many times for fire, code red. For violent patient code gray.. code blue, someone is practically dead and needs immediate help like CPR. That’s all I’m remembering at the moment. Correct me if I’m wrong.
@@BlinkOnWheels the codes where I work are:
Code Adam: infant/child abduction
Code black: bomb threat
Code blue: adult arrest
Code brown: missing adult person
Code grey: severe weather
Code green: hospital evacuation plan
Code orange: hazardous material/ radiation plan
Code pink: infant/child arrest
Code purple: bioterroism/ weapons of mass destruction
Code red: fire
Code silver: person with weapon/hostage situation
Code violet: violent/combative person
Code yellow: disaster [internal or external]
As someone who is a frequent flyer at hospitals, that code for security varies. It can be a code strong, if it’s in psychiatric ward, it could be a code silver, if it’s an armed assailant, but it depends on the region and the health care group. Also depends on the nation.
Tbf most codes are regional.
You know, when you watch Be Amazed once, you can't stop watching! 🤩📺 It's just that captivating!
Yeah, I mostly heard Code Red, Code Blue, Code Grey, and Code Green during my frequent visits.
@@gtbkts true. It's just that, I feel like some people will go looking for this in their region, and be upset when it's not the same code. Just warning the people that took this video a little too literally
Objectively, not literally.
My late Mother-in-Law was a nurse and they would use Dr. Grimm (Somebody coded) and Dr. Allcome (All hands on deck).
And when you think about it, all those codes do make perfect literal sense of a sort. The names tend to relate to the action. Not much actual decoding to do at all.
Also, in Canada, hospitals use codes based on colours and here’s what those codes mean:
Code Blue- Heart/Respiration stop, patient needs CPR
Code Red- Fire
Code Yellow- Missing patient
Code Pink- Infant missing from the NICU
Code Brown- Chemical spill
Code White- Combative patient
Code Black- Bomb threat
Code Silver- Firearm threat
Code Aqua- Flood
Code Green- Evacuation in progress
Code Orange- Mass casualties, expect multiple patients
Code Omega- A patient has lost a dangerous amount of blood and needs an immediate transfusion
While staying in the hospital I heard "Dr. Strong to room..." And i asked the nurse if they really had a doctor with the last name of strong, she laughed and said "no, that's the code when a patient is getting physical and they need help holding them down" 🙂
In Ontario hospitals uses these codes
Code amber: missing child/child abduction
Code aqua: flood
Code black: bomb threat/suspicious object
Code blue: cardiac arrest/medical emergency - adult
Code brown: in-facility hazardous spill
Code green: evacuation (precautionary)
Code green stat: evacuation (crisis)
Code grey: infrastructure loss or failure
Code grey button-down: external air exclusion
Code orange: disaster
Code orange CBRN: CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) disaster
Code pink: cardiac arrest/medical emergency - infant/child
Code purple: hostage taking/gang activity
Code red: fire
Code silver: gun threat/shooter
Code white: violent/behavioural situation
Code yellow: missing person
Code 33: obstetrical emergency
America has different ones, but they’re similar to the ones you have
@@DarkRose0523 naw I heard all the code colors when walking down stairs to go smoke outside. Chime would go off then a automated voice would sound off the code color. 🙂

"Fires don't take place on the Tube very often"
Wesley, I am a Londoner who takes the train on a daily basis. I had TWO 'Inspector Sands' announcements last week, and the tube staff told me to my face that there was a fire in my station. Old Street is quite a popular station for locals and commuters such as myself, too. Small station fires here are not rare, not at all. But only the major fires that require the LFB are ever mentioned on the news.
Combination of English carelessness with litter and sparks from third/fourth rail power system, along with inadequate ventilation allowing buildup of flammable dust. When living in London I preferred to take my chances with the roads if possoble.
@@TurnipstalkLondon fires I've never had that code ever.
I've seen mock bomb once where the head staff, placed it to make sure staff were on the look out.
Tube staff are amazing people and very good at looking after passengers too.
That said the black cab drivers are brilliant too.
You are more likely to encounter suicides jumping in front of trains atm. This happens a lot.
You're partially right. Small fires on the Tube can happen very often, but the timing depends. It could range from four times a week to once every few months and so on. That means how often you hear "Inspector Sands" depends on how often small fires happen.
volume of passengers, frequent trains, amount of trackage…fires are guaranteed to happen several times a week just from litter and debris on the tracks alone
Been in retail for around 6 years, and in almost every store I worked at, if we caught someone who was acting sus, we would make an announcement on the intercom stating "Security check, Line 1" to deter them from stealing anything (I mostly worked in sketchy areas, which I usually didn't know until later on as I was still new to the area, or I applied for the job as a last resort, so it was pretty common to hear it being announced). Later on, the MOD (manager on duty) would check the cameras, and if they did steal something, the MOD would call the authorities and have them trespassed from the property.
Color codes are used as well
At my workplace, it's a bit more subtle, paging "Department 35" to an area (whereas _actual_ departments are paged by name rather than number)...
Travelling to and from work on the London Underground for over 45 years, I can tell you that, up untill recently, a bucket of sand was hooked on the wall of every platform and corridor. The buckets are gone, but you can still find the brackets on the walls.
In hospital codes, you forgot “Paging Mr Post” which means a patient has died
Where did you hear that?
@@samschmit7181 I've heard it too. Generally "Doctor Post" referred to an interesting post mortem going on. Someone once told me that "Doctor Mortimer Post" was used, but I never heard that one.
While in the hospital with family visiting my grandmother, the skies started getting really dark and there were tornado watches starting in the area. In this wing, all the patient rooms had one side entirely of glass so we had a great view of the darkening skies. We asked a nurse about where we'd go if there was a tornado. She said there's no tornado danger right now, if there were a tornado warning they'd have announced a "CODE WHITE" over the intercom. Not 30 seconds later, we hear Code White! Code White! over the intercom. Instantly the staff scramble to roll all the patients into the hallway and close the room doors, to protect us from flying glass if windows start to get broken. Nobody was told what was happening, and we may have been the only patients/visitors that knew what was going on. I don't know if that's a universal hospital code but it fits in with their other "color codes" like Code Blue etc.
No it's not a universal code. I believe each hospital/medical facility has their own sets of codes. Google some different medical facilities if you're that interested. 🏥
Re: Inspector Sands. It is also used at London Mainline stations too. Have heard it at London Waterloo during a fire alarm test. There is also another code for terrorist activity.
Yup 👍🏻
Idk, i disagree with the people in these comments saying revealing the codes is a mistake. Coz knowing the codes isnt the problem. its how you, as a person, react to them. If you hear "inspector sands" and start screaming "omg that means fiirreee everyone get out!!" Then ofc thats gonna be bad and cause panic. But if you hear it but still ignore it and act normal then there wont be any issues. So yeah, knowing the codes isnt bad. Its how you react to them if you hear them irl.
Now, you know them ... but what about in 10 minutes? do you still know it then? what about tomorrow or in a week, or next year when you actually go to London?
@@NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEJ exactly that too! People are too sassy over codes in a youtube video, like, chill 😂 like I said, knowing them or not isn't an issue 😂

During my Airforce days as an avionics tech on jet aircraft, we had some codes. "CND" meant "could not duplicate", if the tech couldn't get the reported problem to appear. A "Short Between The Headsets" indicated the pilot was the problem. "Midnight Acquisition" meant we visited another maintenance unit's turf at night, to "liberate" some part that we needed and didn't want to have to await delivery through the supply system. 😅
Not my area, but I've come across 'problem with flight stick actuator' as another way to say 'short between the headsets'.

I used to work for Simplex (later Tyco, not the toy company) who made fire alarm systems. I worked on the audio portion of the system and there were two fire alarm announcements for a hospital. Doctor Firestone was one and the other was Doctor Blaze. It's up to the hospital to determine which one means what.
24:15 Imagine if it's literally just a random sequence of letters and the designers just wanted to troll everyone.
My thought as well. Having three hidden codes to decrypt and watching all those specialist going nuts over not finding a solution to the fourth one would be one of the funniest way to troll an inteligence agency; they wouldn't be able to atop trying.
I'm sure no one will believe this, but yours truly is among the best codebreakers in human history.
It's a troll. There is no code.
Another code used on the London Underground is ‘one under’. This means that unfortunately someone has fallen on the tracks and has been run over by a train
Holy shoot!!! 😱
Lots doing the train thing atm.
FLK: Oh look whos talking FLD/FLN
EDIT: There is also Irish rings where it shows men if the women is single or not
Claddagh rings is the name of them. They are specifically designed with a heart held within two hands. They are worn with the point of the heart facing you, meaning that you are spoken for, or with the point of the heart facing away from you indicating that you are available. The rings are from a place in Ireland called Co Galway. I hope that makes sense, Google the Claddagh ring for an image.
Called a claggagh ring. A heart withtwo hands around it, heart pointed towards you means your taken, poi ted out means single.
@tracycameron2580 Yeah I just could not remember the name of the ring lol
I have seen a video about kryptos and as it turns out, five codes are hidden within, only four of which been solved. So interesting!
Working at a pet store, if a pet is loose and running around freely, we say "Code Fluffy" so we don't alarm any customers. It is used fairly often. Another one we use is "Code Timmy", which means a child is missing in the store. This one, thankfully, i've never heard or used.
Code fluffy?! That is to cute.
I know about a few of the code phrases used by medical personnel since my dad is a paramedic and my older sister is a nurse. They have no shortage of stories from their jobs, and some were really funny 😅

I've worked in IT for almost 20 years, and I don't know that I've ever actually seen a help desk person use pebcak or id-10-t, or similar, with an actual user. It's fun to talk or joke about sometimes, but a huge majority of folks are just decent people and treat others with respect and a lot of patience.
I've been tech support or support-adjacent most of my working life (more than 30 years at this point), and I've also never heard anyone use PEBCAK or ID-10T to a user. I've heard them use it to EACH OTHER as shorthand for "user error, not worth going into detail" many times. "That guy I transferred to you, what did his problem turn out to be?" "Oh, ID-10T error." I've also heard a borrowing from aviation terminology used: "Controlled flight into terrain" for problems like a user putting the command to open a terminal window in their .profile or .cshrc file.
I've seen it a couple times but it's such a risk to do it's rare. One got a person that was very unpleasant so had him enter a code in one of the advance settings that was the correct code then # to tell it to ignore everything after that then F1_1ck1ngID10T and he called back to let a supervisor know he is not. The other was an agent describing what the person was experiencing and another rep jokingly said it sounded like an ID10T error which the agent relayed to the caller not knowing what it meant but the caller did. Apparently that became a very spirited sup call.

The FLK designation usually means there is probably a neurological problem with the child that may indicate a problem that will affect learning and/or motor or cognitive issues. Often these problems aren’t real obvious, but show up as something just being off

I guess they would call for Dr. Martin Brown or Dr. M. Brown 🤷

Other medical "codes", GOMER = Get Out Of My Emergency Room - basically an obstreperous or difficult patient or one that is a pain to handle. DS = "Drug Seeker". ETKM = "Every Test Known to Man" When a patient has had the run of tests, the DX (diagnosis) and the DDX (differential diagnosis) could be GOK = "God Only Knows". A "crock" is a patient that is really REALLY sick (short for broken crockery). and then, at the very end, the patient can be said to be "circling the drain". Q-sign means the patient is comatose or completely out of it. The letter Q looks like an open mouth with a tongue hanging out. Now one that COULD get families upset, if they see it on the patient's chart, but is actually not an insult is SOB. Shortness of Breath! "Gorked" is another term for Q-sign.
My dad had a secret code with his friend when they were kids. They'd whistle to each other to communicate if they could visit or not. My dad showed the whistle. It was REALLY REALLY LOUD.

I worked in retail stores and also Authorizations/Fraud Detection for over a decade. If you hear a cashier call for authorization on your credit card for a purchase and they say "Code 10" to the authorizer it means they think the card is stolen or counterfeit.

@@Dogeeeee Heck, I don't work for them anymore. Not my circus, not my monkeys. Another tip would be that if you are using a stolen card and stolen ID to make a purchase, don't just memorize the date of birth on the ID. Make sure you know how old that person is too. They're going to ask the date of birth, then a few more questions and then "And, how old are you today?" I lost count of the number of folks I have caught using that one simple trick!
@@Dogeeeee I left another tip but it looks like yt got rid of it so I'm gonna try again.

As the child of 2 doctors, I must say this. Most doctors don’t talk about patients like that in front of them. (At least in the hospitals I’ve worked in and my parents have worked in) And the term FLK is usually referring to people with fetal alcohol syndrome. Which is a syndrome that occurs if a mother drinks alcohol while pregnant. It is different the amount of alcohol consumption required to cause FAS in every woman. Some it takes 50 rounds, others it could just be a single cup. Best just to say away from alcohol all together when pregnant. Yes FLK does still mean funny looking kid, but if you look up what FAS does to the facial structure you can see why
My understanding of fetal alcohol syndrome is that it is caused by when the mother drink's alcohol, which is why one "timely" drink may cause it or one of fifty drinks over time may cause it. Just my 2 cents!
Yes that is correct, it is more common in women who have children in their 30s and older. Having children in the at time also just increases the likelihood of developmental disorders in general. Mainly Down syndrome
I work at a Walmart. Everyone probably knows about Code Adam, missing child. But most of the rest of the codes are colors. Code White, for example, is a customer accident. And if you hear a cashier talk about Bob and Lisa, it's a reminder to check the bottom of the basket and look inside all.😊
16:00 Regarding Herpes, the numbers SHOULD be ‘44, 33, 777, 7, 33, 7777’ using a cell that had only a numeric keypad. Correct?

@@some1-1038😲🥹The predictive feature! I remember that now.
Hospital codes can vary drastically. An urgent call for security at my first job was a code orange. At my current job you dial their number or press the button on the security device we all wear. Code red at my 1st job meant there was a trauma coming in where the patient may need a large amount of blood. It signaled the blood bank to get it prepared. Code red at my current job means there’s a fire or smoke. Hospital alert codes are definitely not one size fits all.
And there’s no widely used acronym for ugly kids 🤦🏽♀️ Nor would any smart physician say it in front of the parents. Not only is it rude, but it’s unethical and could get them fired.
Nah. The ultimate secret code is what the Unabomber left behind. Try to solve THAT one! If you can, you may very well solve Kryptos plate 4
PEBCAK and ID10T Error are both just humorous IT jokes
I worked in a hospital for almost forty years. Various codes were called, or doctors were paged, that all mean different things. The area I worked in had some extra terms, like HPM or HPF (highly perfumed male/female) to warn staff of patients who were nauseatingly drenched in scent. (This can be overwhelming if you take a patient into a small treatment room.)
Dude voice over is the best
Gathering of your Facts is amazing ❤❤
People are so thick and full of themselves. I would rather just tell someone that I have a health condition than to come up with a code that allows people to hide their imperfections or illness. Especially, if it could harm another person. If I told someone directly that I had something wrong with me, this should garner respect. I'm not hiding my mistakes at the cost of other people's lives. Life is short, don't put others in danger because you think that you are more important than they. You're just being selfish and arrogant. We can't even work together honestly in this situation. I have a code for these people? The opposite of less on.
What are you even saying. I’ve read your comment three times and am still confused. You can tell whoever you want whatever you want about your health conditions. That’s not what the codes are for. No doctor is going to tell you, you’re at risk of a code blue. They’ll say heart attack
Where I work if you hear on the radio Red flag. Usually means person of high interest of risk. Either by harm or theft.
As an EMT, I can tell you different hospitals use different codes. I've heard code silver or also "Dr. Armstrong" for a security alert

11:45 Remote health monitoring (RHM) refers to using remote devices and telehealth technology to monitor a patient's health status.
Suggesting that the issue is not with the computer but with the person isn't an insult. Next time that user calls the other members would be aware and handle them accordingly. Even so, it isn't any more of an insult than calling a baby FLK
I've heard PEBKAC = "Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair".
My favorite medical one is CTD. It stands for "circling the drain" and is very descriptive of a doomed patient who is going downhill, slowly at first, and then more and more rapidly towards the end.
A long time ago one of the local radio stations I listened to (I think it was Piccadilly Radio in Manchester, UK) used to play 'Flowers In The Rain' to signal that there was a fire in the studio.
RHM and FLK got me cracking up XD XD

Bread delivered on Monday had a blue twist tie, green was Tuesday, etc. The local sandwich company had a single letter on each sandwich telling the day it was made for. The code was the word "BREAD" spelled backward, so Monday's sandwiches had "D" stamped on the label. We learned about Morse code in school also.
At 22:33 FBI is stated but it's the Secret Service that handle counterfeiting.
That tech support one reminded me of the time a friend of mine had to call tech support on a problem with his old computer that he was having a problem he never encountered before, and the tech support employee said the term PEBKAC over the phone. So, he actually said ID-10-T over the phone. The tech support employee was actually more helpful and respectful after that.
I was a "Code Blue" during a hospital stay in 2002. Four nurses with a "Crash Cart" flew into my room.
My oh my did I get attention!! At least I'm still alive...
For what it's worth, the two most common codes in hospitals that just about everybody recognizes are code red for fire and code blue for medical emergency. When I was a hospital employee back in the late '90s and early 2000s, we had a few codes we had to modify... For example, "code strong" had to be changed to "code yellow" to call for security/help restraining a violent or unsafe person because we got a Dr. Strong on incoming staff... 🙂
The squawk of 7700 isn’t a secret. You can set FlightRadar24 to alert you when an aircraft squawks that.
11:49 upper left message - Thanks, now I need to find this image somehow and find out who the F is pregnant 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just so you know... The codes you mentioned for cruies ships are only with some American companies. I've worked on cruise ships for many years as a musician and although I'm american I've mainly worked with European companies. And although these things happened. The codes were different. For instance on one of the Thomson (Now Marella) ships which was British and the ship was regestered in Greece. The code for a medical Emergency was code Alpha. AND... unless something has changed. If a passenger dies they have to bring the body back to the port of origin.
You know, when you watch Be Amazed once, you can't stop watching! 🤩📺 It's just that captivating!
I use to work at lowes and we hand a simple code that want anything important but code 50 means they want help loading a product

Inspector sans ? Man, undertale sure is multifaceted.
In the 90s I had copied some money to send to a sweepstakes that kept dragging on the prize announcement and I had no problem. It turned out just fine. So it's probably just newer bills and newer copiers.
I thought the same thing. If you have an older printer/scanner/copier that still works, BEFORE it could recognize the lines and circles on currency, then it should be able to make copies or print it out
Age matters as anti copy tech gets added to stop people from doing what they do.
Similarly it used to be easy to copy rented VHS tapes but later VCRs added anti-copy systems so official tapes would produce unwatchable copies.
What if there's actually a Dr. Brown and Dr. Firestone that's needed in certain hospital area?
Then they would say “PAGING Dr. So-and-so” instead of “CODE Brown or Code Firestone”.
OR, just use the Doctor’s first name or initial in their PA call
Dud you know: most abandoned children cases are left at Disney world
What's the code for that?
I've read that FLK is no longer used in records. Now that patients have access to their medical records on-line such slang expressions may be frowned on. That doesn't mean they're completely gone. It's just that if you see the same expression used in records by several doctors you can usually find out if they have a special meaning. For example, "pleasant lady" means a patient was communicative and responded to social cues,
I swear I heard " time check, time check"... " all clocks have been reset" , shopping at Walmart a few years ago

6:09 when I was younger for some reason I imagined staff workers dressed up in hazmat suits, holding hose and spraying ash all over the guests as it's not fog, but ash.
In star wars code : "Execute order 66" means, kill all the jedi !

I'm a friend of Bill W as well. Otherwise known as AA or alcoholics anonymous. Thanks for the mention :) .😊
I had a gentleman ask me if I was in the rooms, I had no clue what he was talking about and then he apologized and told me it was aa/na meetings. I never heard anyone else ever say that again and I don’t ever remember anyone asking if I/someone knew bill w. Either. I have been around numerous people who are or were in meetings.

Traveling folks still Mark locations with information about whether it's possible to get food at places whether it's possible to get work at certain places. Whether it's possible to panhandle where it's legally and handled all kinds of shit.
