1NT-2♣ (diamonds, or a major and a minor)-p-p-p. "Her clubs are better than my suit(s)".

I think it's probably worth noting to the opponents that we overcall on much worse suits/two-suiters than they might, but All Bids Are Non-Forcing (some will be Partnership Limiting Passes, I will admit).

Haven't played this since the change to Alerting rules. Used to be we Alerted it, and when they asked, could explain "hearts, we overcall very aggressively" and get the point across. Now it's just a transfer and Announceable. I should query whether it would be misleading - but with 5S4H and a decent hand, we might bid 2♦ and then 2♠, so the fact that "my diamonds are better than his hearts" should be "obvious".
