For example, maybe one time your significant other randomly shouted “Lemons!” and this has become a thing between the two of you. If you text them “Lemons!” or even " 🍋 " you’re bound to get a laugh.

For example, you might say, “Just wanted to let you know I’m thinking about you and whatever you’re facing, I know you’ve got this! You’re my favorite person and I’m your #1 fan. "
