This word has too many meanings. The meaning I'm in love with is coding as a method of classification. Mmm, such a cool word.
Short for code blue, a medical emergency that usually means someone's heart, breathing, or both, have stopped. In most hospitals a designated cohort of professionals will respond when code blues are called.
Used also as an intransitive verb: "Mr Sullivan was doing okay this morning, but coded overnight."
Also a form of encryption, not to be confused with a cipher.
