Safe Word 

A word used as a signal to stop a sexual act, usually if it's too rough (ex: spankings, rough sex, anal sex)
WARNING! DO NOT in ANY given circumstances EVER use positive feedback as a safe word!! Some examples are "Daddy, yes!", "Please!", or "More!" You may think that you're going to remember that you should slow down, but c'mon let's get real here. It's going to get you even more excited.
Just be careful about what you agree upon.
Girl: ahh- SLOW DOWN!
Boy: *stops what he is doing* babe you used the safe word are you okay?
Girl: yea, but that got intense!
(Can have reversed/gay roles as well)

safe word 

In BDSM community, a word (usually irrelevant and strange in the context of the sexual situation) agreed by the participating parties to cease the activity. This is so that the submissive partner(s) can say "stop" and "no" as often as they want during the session and use the safe word when they actually mean it.
Top: *whip whip*
Bottom: Ouch, no, stop, please stop ... FISHSTICKS!
Top: Huh?
Bottom: Dammit, that's our safe word - now seriously, fishsticks!

safe word  

An agreed upon word, or set of words, used in any kind of sexual activity, not limited to BDSM play, that is uttered by any participant to communicate that they want the activity to be modified.

Sexual safe words could also be called "sexual trust words", and they're an especially good idea in any kind of sex play that is exploratory and/or new to any participant.

Different safe words can be created and agreed upon to mean different things, such as, "stop everything, right now!", "slow down, back off!", "don't stop!", etc.

Safe words should be ones that a participant isn't likely to use as part of the play. They can be complete code, like "Tibet" (stop), "Chicago" (slow down), and "Glesga" (don't stop), or more obvious, like "red", "yellow", and "green".

No kind of sex should EVER be forced on anyone- that's called rape! (which is totally different than indulging in an agreed upon rape fetish)- and the basic idea of safe words is to prevent rape from happening accidentally.

Safe words make for hot sex!
Thank god we had a safe word, the idjit hadn't met a nail file in his whole fucking life!

"Yes, yes, more, more, Glesga, Glesga, please, give it to me, give it to me!" (Glesga is my favorite safe word, dontcha know, Sweetie?).

I could barely speak, but the safe word was easy to remember, so, when she went from four fingers to all five I managed to gasp, "yellow"- then a moment later I was screaming, "green! green! green!".

email safe word 

In an email thread, a word (usually irrelevant and strange in the context of the email thread) agreed to by the participating parties to change the subject or end the thread when the inappropriateness of the thread has reached its limit. This is so that someone on the email thread can let everyone else know that they feel like continuing the thread would only get too personal and cause shame.

Similar to a safe word in BDSM.
Bob: Notice her status says engaged as well…I wonder if this dude is her fiancé…or if that is why she has been abstinent?
Sue: I'm not even sure what to say but LOL about her "other pussy." She's a class act, right there. I just hope she wasn't friends with her co-workers.
Mary: That is exactly the reason I don't have a Facebook acct.
Jill: OMG…that was hilarious!!! Mary…..I don’t think we’d need to know about your escapades.
Bob: No, love caves are private.
Jill: I bet you are about ready for a visit to the love cave, aren't you, Bob??
Sue: BANANA! I said BANANA! Stop, dammit, stop! For the love of God, BAAAAANAAAANAAA!
Jill: Huh?
Sue: Banana is our email safe word. In order to prevent us from too much TMI, we need to put an end to this thread.

safeword 

a safeword is a word (mainly used in BDSM - bondage, discipline, sadism, and masochism) that bottoms use when the painful pleasure starts to genuinely hurt, or what tops use if they think they're being too harsh.

A safeword is generally a word that isn't something you would say during sex, for example, various fruits (like apple or orange); large numbers (like 73 or 460); different shapes (like a heptagon or a tetracontakaiheptagon); extinct animals (like a dinosaur or a quagga); et cetera.

A safeword is never "please stop," "I can't take it," or "it hurts," and this is because the masochist (or bottom) says these things to express that the sadist (or top) is doing a good job.

A safeword shouldn't be a simple word, because sometimes the word will be forgotten. A longer and more complicated word can be said, and the other will notice that it's the safeword, even if it has not been established. If you haven't set a safeword and it's too much for you, then just think of a random word, like a phobia, or an unnecessarily long name for a color, or anything. You can even just say "safeword" and that should be enough.

Safewords should always be discussed with your other partner(s) because it's a very important thing to talk about. You can even bring it up during intercourse because it's a normal thing to ask "what's the safeword again?" and it will be fine. if you feel shy about asking, then don't be. you should be comfortable with your partner.
sub: Hey, what's the safeword again?
dom: I don't know, what about ballpoint pen?
sub: i'll try to remember that, i guess
---
fiveteen min later
---
sub: (forgets the safeword) ...safeword!!
dom: did you forget the safeword?
sub: yeah, i did, sorry
dom: it's okay :)
sub: :)

and they lived happily ever after :D

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
