(freylekh [allegro])
We could assign short phrases, or even better, numbers, to certain
recurring themes as they appear and need to be identified. After a 
while, we could substitute the numbers for the themes and motifs
they represent, and we would get exchanges like the following:
"#18" (response is applause) 
"#2" (laughter)
"#42" (more laughter)
"#35" (silence)
"#40" ("you just don't tell it right! It's 'arbaim mi yodea'!)

(ernst)
I once posted the phrase "who knows one" on a discussion list (not
this one) and got a variety of predictable responses but NOT the next 
phrase from the song "ekhod mi yodea," i.e., "one is keloheynu, in the
heavens and on earth."
