Whenever someone asks me how I am, I often phrase 'and how are you?' as '&you ?', which is something usually lost on everyone. In the C programming language, the ampersand is used as an address-of operator used to create a reference of sorts, and is integer to utilising pointers. So litterally 'address-of you ?' makes a very explicitly reference while remaining a syntactically correct substitution of '&' for 'and', in English anyway.
If anyone finds that odd, just try not to think about how Lisp and Perl have impacted my brain over the years lol.
