    Secret Code for Geoexpatters

    A couple of times when I've been out and about I've seen expats and wondered if they are Geoexpatters. Who hasn't, right?

    A couple of ideas:

    1.) Geoexpat apparel...who wouldn't wear a Geo hat or a T-shirt with say, "I got flamed on Geoexpat!"...or "Geoexpat...you know where the airport is!"....

    2.) What about a secret signal? It doesn't have to be really obvious like...



    ....just a couple of tugs on your left earlobe....

    So. I propose that 3 tugs on your left earlobe is the code. If you see an expat, give your left earlobe a tug 3 times.....if it's returned, voila, your instincts were correct!

    I find most expat know about this website + asiaxpat. They're just not regulars.

    I propose the following secret signal:
    Face the person you think is a fellow geoexpater.
    Raise your arm, preferably the right one, so that it's somewhat parallel to the ground.
    Twist the arm so that the palm of your hand faces upwards.
    Now fold back all fingers towards your palm as if you made a fist except the third finger (digitus medius) which will not fold all the way but instead remain perpendicular to the ground.

    Practice in front of a mirror to get it right.

    Maybe we should just bump our platinum cards together.
