    • The way I pronounce the word "sorry" as well as my inflection whenever I'm speaking. Only my close friends whom I speak to in private know what my voice sounds like.
    • There are words I've made up that I jokingly use around friends. An impostor would not know about this as I speak to my friends privately and I never join chat servers, where bad actors could be eavesdropping. A wrong answer or "I don't know" would out them as an impostor.
    • My art. I will deliberately make "mistakes" in my art that are subtle enough to not be seen by most people, but I will be able to tell if someone is trying to copy it. Map makers do something similar.
    • Other random details only my friends know about that'd immediately out an impostor once asked.
    • Re: bullet point 2, that’s called a familect if you weren’t already aware. I just love that word and that it’s a thing, because it feels like nobody really acknowledges how widespread it is. We just all walk around having our own secret languages only our loved ones understand.

      • I didn't know about that but that was interesting to read about and now I know what it's called, thank you! 😃
