* ''Series/LawAndOrder'': In the episode "Publish and Perish", a suspect in two murders is an eminent former police chief who's now a candidate for Director of Homeland Security. After being forced to admit to an affair with one of the victims, he withdraws from the running, giving the story publicly that he's been exposed for "forgetting" about payroll taxes for his children's nanny. This is less embarrassing than the truth but does make him look like a fraud.

She's stopped by a flirty co-worker who casually asks about her suitcase. She responds that it's full of "[[WomensMysteries lady's things]]". The co-worker stops asking questions and lets her go.

To slip away and become Spider-Man without being noticed, he tells his date and friends that all of the Coney Island food made him sick and runs away. Flash accidentally helps by laughing and teasing Peter as he runs.

* ''[[ComicBook/GIJoeIDW G.I. Joe]]'' In the IDW series, Kwinn and Lighthorse are [[BodybagTrick smuggling Snake-Eyes across a border in a coffin inside a hearse]]. Lighthorse looks nervous and the border guards ask him what is wrong. Lighthorse responds with the phrase that Kwinn taught him the local language. This translates as "I'm a little girl. I'm afraid of ghosts". The border guards laugh and let them through. Lighthorse, who has no idea what he has just said, wonders what they found so funny.
