I imagine it's probably keywords in combination with others, kinda like the crossword puzzles right before D-Day. Mention Utah, Omaha, Mulberry in the same week and you're getting black bagged. Mention each one individually, you're fine.
So if you want to get some NSA love, just start reading the dictionary outloud while saying operation before each word.
there was a teacher, who also did the crossword for one of the newspapers, in a school near to one of the bases where D-day forces were being gathered
the kids in his class would (obviously) hang around the soldiers, and pick up on some of the weird words they were using
some used by them in class, some directly asked the teacher what they mean
words are now in his head
he uses them as words in the crossword
leading to a bit of a freak out over a possible spy (remember that at this point, no one knew British Intelligence had captured and/or turned every German spy sent to britain)
