Couples, what secret language do you use to tell each other details that the company you're in doesn't understand or notice?

What words, phrases or signs do you use and how do you get your partner’s attention?

Haha, I’ve caught plenty of Chinese speakers having what they presume are private conversations in my presence, and sometimes even about me. People just automatically assume non-Asians can’t speak Chinese, even when these non-Asians live in China.

This happens to me sometimes as I lived in enough places that I understand a lot of common stuff in various European languages even though I don’t speak them beyond ordering a beer or whatever.
