I've done this for years, and "Twelve" is my go-to number. So much so, that my wife often preempts my retort with "And don't you say 'twelve'!".

Sometimes I throw a "Seven" in there, just because I'm a wild and crazy guy.

I'm amused; my husband and I have precisely that dynamic. And I use seventeen as my alternate meaningless number, in almost exactly the same way.

I use seventeen

Is that because of the humbug?
