* In the ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries''' take on "Days of Future Past," Wolverine, Bishop, and Forge discuss a plan to prevent "the assassination of the '90s," referring to the victim only as "some egg-sucking big shot." They may actually not know who it is (Bishop says he doesn't in Part 2, but that could be part of the [[DramaPreservingHandicap time-travel amnesia]] he has); as for the assassin, his identity is neatly obscured with a single interruption.

--->'''Tarquin:''' If the protagonists didn't know Malack's secret, we'd still be speaking far more circumspectly about his "condition" and such – despite the fact that everyone in the room already knew.

* In ''Film/BatmanBegins'', [[ScaryScarecrows Dr. Crane/The Scarecrow]] and [[TheDon Carmine Falcone]] constantly refer to their anonymous boss as "he". [[spoiler: Turns out, it was [[EvilMentor Ra's al Ghul/Henri Ducard]].]]
* In ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'', whenever the crew talk about humanity's First Contact with aliens they never actually mention what species the aliens are. TheReveal at the end of the movie is that they're [[spoiler:Vulcans. (Who else?)]]
* In ''Film/NorthByNorthwest'', the American spies have a meeting where they discuss "our agent" in the field, and do so without ever using a single gender-specific pronoun, in order to avoid tipping off the audience.

* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' has at least once used 'that piece of evidence' to allow you to hear Phoenix's thoughts about presenting evidence without actually telling you what evidence you should use.
%%* ''[[VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigationsMilesEdgeworth Ace Attorney Investgations]]'' does this with Phoenix himself. Whenever anyone refers to him, they do so in the vaguest way possible.
