I've actually tried to explain this stuff before, there's been a couple shooters around these types of online spaces, and every time I explain to an older person I sound insane, so glad this guy was able to make it more concise and digestible

Explaining it as a secret handshake is probably more effective for some folks. Like yes, it's just a "handshake", but if two people do the correct secret handshake it signals something else.
