pistachio

To refer to a member of the opposite sex in conversation when such discussion may be considered overly discriminatory or sexist when being overheard. Can refer to the USDA system of grading for pistachio nuts and shells (i.e. U.S. Fancy, U.S. Extra No. 1, U.S. No. 1, and U.S. Select).

"Check out the pistachio by the doorway. Extra No. 1 grade."
"Agreed."
