Was bedeutet I know what that's code for. ?
Was bedeutet I know what that's code for. ?
I'd like to ask two questions here;
1. What "code for" means? Does it mean like a model answer?
2. Does young guy mean "boss" by "you"?
Female boss: What do you tell people when someone asks what it's like to work with me?
Young guy: I say that you're very smart and you work really hard. And you're tough, but it's worth it.
Female boss: Yeah. I know what that's code for.
Thank you.

@Jun24 In a sense yes, when the boss says "yeah. i know what thats code for" the code is that the young guy said the boss works him harder than he would like when he mentioned that the boss is tough, but the young guy made the sentence less harsh by adding "but its worth it."
Code for is more like a hidden meaning behind the sentence if I try to complicate it less haha

1. "Code for" means an implied answer or for what something really means. For example:
The phrase "This is code for..." means "what this means is..."
2. Yes the young guy is talking about his boss when he says "you".
Hope this is clear enough!

@K_Ana Thanks a lot for answering my questions!
As for 1, is the boss saying "I know what you mean," then?
Thank you.

@K_Ana Thank you for the further explanation. I think I got the idea.
I'm sorry I'm not familiar with Khmer, but good luck on learning it.
