All of a sudden, poughkeepsie suddenly pops up inside my head as a curious "secret distress signal".

I thought ours was "Tahiti", though.

My previous comment is a reference to the Supernatural TV series. The protagonist brothers Sam and Dean Winchester had Poughkeepsie as a distress signal whenever one of them needed to inform the other to "pack up and run". One of the situations involved Dean telling Crowley the distress signal so Crowley could enter Sam's mind and warn him about his ongoing angelic possession.
