It is interesting that people develop shorthand in their relationships. I was playing a game called "catch phrase" which required one person to make the others guess a word or phrase without saying the word. My friend said to his wife "it is the sound Minerva hates." And his wife said "bagpipes."
I know someone I can say "Two Waffles Please" and she will instantly understand I mean "English White Trash". I can say to my dad that "Sammy Davis died" and he will know that I haven't been watching the news.
This isn't the essence of a relationship, but it is important. It shows a visibility between the two people. It is an ability to communicate and to know that you are on the same page.
