The Coalies Are Back In Town

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Coaltide Bar'n'Grill
The receipts will flow and wank will spill
And if the coalies wanna fight, you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favorite song
The nights are getting longer, it won't be long
Won't be long 'til Yuletide comes
Now that the coalies are here again

"sliding in a reference to actual coal", I think is how it parses? Like coal the rock.

Though I did match on a letter that requested sliding one year... New code word?

Yes like a prompt that says “what would Amy do if she got coal in her stocking?” or having a reference in your general section that is like “I love noncon; one man’s coal is another man’s diamond!” or “AUs in this fandom would unfortunately be a lump of coal for me”.

Plausible deniability, but nobody who doesn’t know about coal probably wouldn’t think to include the reference and those who are coalies but don’t want to be known of as one would actively avoid it. So the people who do include those references have a 90% chance of being a coalie signaling to other coalies they’re kin.

I think you're massively underestimating how normal it is to reference coal in relation to anything to do with christmas and overestimating how many people even know coal exists. I'd drop that percentage to like 10% at best.
