Vortex, basically there's a guy whose wife was in surgery and was brain dead and McDreamy said to pull the plug because she had a DNR and the guy flipped and sued the hospital and lost, so he's returned, with a gun, and is shooting up the place. And various shit is going down.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
meara, ironically, the thing that got me watching Grey's was Isiah Thomas saying "we have a code black" in all of the ads during the Superbowl that year and I just wanted to know what the fuck a code black was and then I was hooked for a while. Of course, what ultimately made me stop watching was that I could no longer suspend my disbelief that Meredith had any redeeming value. She was whiny, needy, annoying, clingy and indecisive. I couldn't understand why all the men wanted to be with her and all of the women wanted to be her friend. Plus, her overbite started to annoy me.

I don't watch Grey's anymore, but at my uni, we have a yearly quiz on codes and procedures, and they are also listeed on the back of our ID badges, which we wear at all times.

From reading this, I think code black has a universal meaning.

scrum and agile, an the other hand, don't exist, not really
I wish my company had gotten this memo.
I know... I feel sort of warm and squooshy inside.
Not unlike the London mascots, I suspect.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
As someone who works for a company with a Teletubbies-themed conference room...the London mascots look exactly how I would have expected them to look. They're straight out of the CBeebies lineup.
(Don't get me wrong - they're still creepy as fuck, but not surprisingly so.)

Oh my god you guys. I just had a 10 course tasting menu dinner. I was prepared to throw down, but not quite like that. Definitely the best and most expensive meal I've ever had. And they threw in free marrow!
Was there anything you had that you never thought you'd eat, but loved it? Because my problem whenever I look at the Craige menu is I keep seeing things that make me go "Why would I EVER want to eat that?" But I am a bit of a finicky eater (not a fan of seafood or offal, and a number of vegatables make me gag).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Looks from Wikipedia that code blue and red are about the only universal hospital codes, and few seem to have a code for lockdown. UCLA certainly didn't.
