Hmmm... This is too much of an Americanism, IMHO.

Sorry, syntax error, you have lost me. Some googling suggests a reference
to post WW2 "lounge entertainers", probably in the USA. I also do not
understand why this would mean "yes".

I'm not sure that this valid technical point should be a good reason for
guiding what feedback should be provided to the user, but it makes it
simpler to choose two states:-)
For three states with more culturally neutral mnemonics, I thought of: ? for f (waiting for a true answer...) . for z
(waitingfor the end of the sentence, i.e. endif) & for t (no real mnemonic)
For two states: * for being executed (beware, it is ***important***) / for not (under the hood, and it is opposed to
*)
Otherwise I still like "?[tfz]", but it is two characters long.
