I saw this and it made me laugh. Make sure you yell that uppercase letter!

The safe word has a specific, vital function in BDSM play, but beyond its function, there is it's form; it's meaning between the two in a D/S relationship. I recently watched a film called The Duke of Burgundy, about two women studying lepidopterology who enter a ritualistic D/S relationship. Their safe word came from their world of their studies: pinastri, the scientific name for an english moth. They could say this word anywhere (in university for example) and it wouldn't stir anyone's suspicion, but it had special meaning to them. Have you ever shared a special safe word- whether it had a double meaning, or double function? What safe words have you used at the Fortress?
