A dogwhistle, basically? "Dog whistles use language which appears normal to the majority, but which communicate specific things to intended audiences."

Dogwhistles are most often associated with politics, but the idea goes beyond that (unless you classify all asymmetric/broadcasted communication as political, which is not without merit.)

Which is why I believe the best you can do is stay aware of the present at a meta level, and track things as a function of time.

Of course all of this requires self-drive and personal determination / willingness.
