Both the building where I live and the building where I work have those security cards that you wave in front of a sensor, then the sensor beeps and unlocks the door.
I've noticed that we invariably describe it as "beeping the thing."
Which has glorious potential to sound dirty.
"Could you do me a favour and beep me? My hands are full so I can't get my thing out."
"My thing won't beep today for some reason. It took three tries before it worked."
"You can beep without taking your thing out of your pants?" "Yeah, if the thing is sensitive enough."
