* Used to Hawkeye's advantage in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' to trick Envy, who was disguised as Roy, as part of her [[Batman Gambit]]. She aims a gun at him, saying that Roy never calls her "Lieutenant" in private. Cue Envy immediately breaking the form, cursing his luck and shouting "[[Everyone Can See It|I ''knew'' there was something going on with you two]]!''" Her reply can effectively be summed up as, "Not really. [[Unwitting Pawn|Thanks for believing me, Envy]]." Cue epic beatdown.
* This trope is a key plot point in the ''[[Weiss Kreuz]]'' OAV ''Verbrechen ~ Strafe''. During a mission briefing, when asked if she's well, Weiss's [[The Handler|handler]] Manx replies that she's having trouble with her allergy to black lilies. Much later, when Weiss finish springing their trap on the villain who was holding Manx hostage, they reveal that "[[Flower Motifs|black lily]]" is a codeword indicating "lies," and that Manx's comment had alerted them to the fact that the orders given in that mission briefing were fraudulent.
* In the Chuunin exams arc of ''[[Naruto]]'', Sasuke proposes using a password in case of enemy ninjas using doppelgangers to imitate one of them (again), and makes up a long poem as the passphrase. A few scenes later, Naruto excuses himself to pee, and when he returns he is quizzed for the passphrase, and successfully gives it. Of course, Sasuke knows that the real Naruto would not have remembered such a long passphrase, and that he was being spied on when he made it.

* In ''[[Questionable Content]]'', Faye and her [[Crazy Prepared]] mother have worked out a code phrase for when Faye was being held against her will.
{{quote|'''Faye''': No mother, the peaches are '''definitely not ripe'''.}}
* Belkar of ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'' subverts ([[Zig-Zagging Trope|double-subverts? parodies?]]) this during aftermath of the fight with the thieves guild. Celia and Hayley take it as Belkar gone [[Ax Crazy]]. More so than usual, anyway.
{{quote|'''Belkar''': Let's stop the violence.
'''Side Character''': See? Even your other party member agrees which means-
Line 222:
* In ''[[Something*Positive]],'' Eva had an Internet romance with someone who claimed to be Davan. Davan's friend Josh, however, was suspicious, partially because the e-mails all had perfect spelling, something Davan apparently doesn't bother with. Unfortunately for Eva, she didn't listen.
* In ''[[Exiern]]'' Neils tries to drop hints [http://www.exiern.com/?p=1340 here] that he has been be-spelled and is no longer fully in control of his own actions by calling Crown Princess Peonie the "Second In Line To The Throne" instead of the first. It seems like no one notices at the time though. Peonie had to have it spelled out to her after the inevitable kidnapping, but her father was just going along with it 'til he could get his other assets in play.
* ''[[Blue Yonder]]'' discovers his family [https://web.archive.org/web/20201228002516/https://www.smackjeeves.com/discover/detail?titleNo=80060&articleNo=41 on an impromptu vacation] "to Omega Centuri".
