Hmmm. I don't know if it's a problem for Colleen or not, but for me, I am sometimes embarrassed to wield the clue-bat that openly in front of others - I feel awkward for appearing "demanding" to others (not necessarily to the perosn being clue-batted, if I know they're okay with that, but the "audience").
If that is the case, a coded way of expressing it (that looks subtle to others but is an immediate clue-bat clue due to pre-definition) can be useful. As I said, it may not apply here, but - something to keep in mind if you find it might apply at any point.
