口語中叫人不要驚慌有：Don't go hitting the panic button的說法：Don't go hitting the panic button, I'm sure you can solve the problem with a little rational thought。勸朋友遇到什么問題時不要驚慌，認為他略作理智地考慮定能解決問題。Hit (push) the panic button亦作press the panic button，但press似乎沒有hit那么慌張。有時人們會開玩笑地把各種各樣的按鈕叫作panic button。此外，如果一個人頭腦有問題，我們說他：He has a few buttons missing，掉了幾個“按鈕”，不靈了。
