People have been sharing which call and response they’d use to identify the Brits in a crowd – 23 revealing favourites

But how would you identify the British when there isn’t a handy football tournament?
What call and response could you use to identify a British person hiding in a crowd?
For instance, shouting “oggy oggy oggy” would force any true Brit to reply, “oi oi oi!” They just wouldn’t be able to resist it.
