Boojum staff have a secret.
Perhaps they have many secrets, but this one is worth keeping an ear out for.
Next time you’re in the queue, listen out for a certain code word being spoken, for it probably means that there’s someone especially good-looking on the premises.
The word in question, as confirmed to JOE by an anonymous insider, is….
Yekkid
Really rolls off the tongue, huh?
So if you overhear a member of staff asking if someone “filled out that yekkid report” or describing the latest Mo Salah screamer as “yekkid, man”, know that you’re standing in the middle of a house of lies, albeit a very beautiful one.
Hey, it could be you.
If this practice sounds familiar, it’s because flight attendants are also at it.
In December, a former flight attendant named ‘James’ told Australian radio show Kyle & Jackie O about the tricks he and his colleagues used to employ in order to talk about their passengers without them realising it.
James told the show how, if someone attractive was sitting in seat 7A, the phrase would become “I’d love to do seven days in America” and so on, and so forth.
“Obviously when we are in the cabin and we are doing the drinks we can’t just be like ‘Oh doll check him out. You have to be subtle about it,” he said.
“Because everyone knows their seat numbers, so we’re on the cart and he’ll be like, ‘I’m thinking of doing seven days in America… being ‘seat 7A’.
“And I’ll be like, ‘yeah, I could do seven days in America!'”
Who knows how deep this sickeningly photogenic rabbit hole goes?
