Here are some examples for loaded language from the ICOC. Some of them are different, some of them similar as in UBF, e.g.
Please note that every cult has it's own "code" and may associate different things with the same words. However, as both ICOC and UBF are examples for TACOs as defined here, there is a certain "core vocabulary" common to all of these group that overlaps.
Please also not that UBF is even more focused on authority and honor and keeping the proper form of address and title. Therefore you won't find expressions like "Awesome Bro" or "Awesome Sis" in UBF. I believe the UBF code language is even more sophisticated and loaded with subtle connotations than the ICOC language.
