Watch face - what you do to check and see if your significant other has spotted the new watch you're wearing


Automatic Movement - dancing out the door with your left arm out of sight so your significant other doesn't spot the new watch you're wearing


Rehaut - the noise you make to deflect the conversation when your significant other spots the new watch you're wearing, as in 'Rehaut, look - a squirrel!'
