Great podcast . The password of “Lilliputian” was a bad safe word for sure. It reminds me of the Hebrews that used the safe word “Shibboleth” (Judges 12:6 ) because the palate of the Ephraimites could not construct the syllables to pronounce the word. When a Hebrew sentry caught a Ephraimite that could not speak the term, 42,000 Ephraimites were slaughtered that day.
I suspect the Japanese struggled with any English word that started with “L”. The previous safe word was “Lalapalloza” or “Lilly” according to some historians. You are right “Lilliputian” was difficult for a drunk soldier to remember and probably pronounce. Moral of that story or my take away, don’t overthink a process that could easily be modified to achieve the same purpose.
