Da Smitty Code III: Send in the Tropes (I: Scour Old Books Importantly)

What if the secret code tattooed in the Smitty’s ear is the Smitty’s secret name?

You know, as in T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats and Sich how he (I mean my man T) talks about how them cats’s has gotten themselves three-kine names for thesselfs:

1) the normal everyday whatevahs name what you call him (li’ dat).

2) The name with which they call each other and RECONNIZE each other.

3) The top secret name known only to the cat itself.

Which of these is the tattooed identity, T?

And can I utter the name tattooed on his ear or must I stay mum?

I know! I’ll consult a crochety old expert type!
