Usually, the references that fans catch onto are phrases, not a single word, unless it's a rare circumstance, such as "bazinga" with the Big Bang Theory fandom. The only reason "bazinga" is an exception is because it's a made-up word that is specific to Big Bang Theory, that people wouldn't say under normal circumstances.

If I say "pancakes," I may be referencing Nora, but I also may not be, especially considering that, for some reason, one of my go-to's for changing a subject is breakfast food, usually waffles or pancakes.

If someone says "Women," they may or may not be referencing Nora.

If someone says "Boop," it does not automatically mean they're referencing Nora, since "boop" has been a thing long before RWBY even started. So, maybe they're referencing Nora, maybe not.
