Personal jokes and references that we used when we couldn't come out of the closet?

I was talking to a workmate today about how much I love quiche. And I remembered the saying "Real men don't eat quiche". And back when I was in denial, before I could come out to anyone, I remember smiling from ear to ear as I would tell people I love quiche, and I guess that means I'm not a real man.

No one else had a clue what I was getting at, but I thought I was funny

What were yours if you had something similar?
