safety swipe

A match made on Tinder with a person you only thought was kind of cute instead of the person you really wanted to match with. Alternately, a match with a thottie instead of a hottie.

Man, I keep getting matched with all my safety swipes.

Safety Tip

the act that is committed when you, or a group of friends, goes to a restaurant (or a place of equal eating status) and at the end of the meal, you or your patrons leaves a few extra dollars on the tip in an effort to not look cheap and occassionally give the server more than they deserved, sometimes resulting in the lack of mandatory money to participate in later events that same day.

Jim: Are you going to the movie with us?
Joe: No, i dont have enough money because i did too much "safety tipping" at the bar.
Jim: Bummers!

safety hawk

A haircut associated with goths and punks, shaved on the sides and long on top. Thus the wearing of the mowhawk is optional, unlike a short traditional hawk, as the long part can come down to cover the shaved areas. The term "safety" is used for two reasons-- you don't risk poking anyone in the eye in the pit, and you have the option to look more mainstream at your job/funerals/family events, etc.

Boris Rager decided to go to law school so he grew out his warhawk into a safety hawk.

Safety Pod

The iPod you take on a road trip when other passengers in the car have already volunteered to be in charge of the music for the trip. Because you doubt their taste in music, you bring your own iPod as a backup for when they experience shuffle shame.

Joe: So we're all set for the trip to the beach. I'm driving..Bob, you are in charge of the music.
Bob: Sure, just don't be surprised when a random country song or NKOTB comes on.
Mark:...uh, yeah I'll be bringing my safety Pod...

Safety Third

The old expression means; whatever it is you are doing, it first and secondly ain't safety.

The roofing crew will be on the project tomorrow regardless of the potential for ice overnight, safety third.
