I just...I just don't even know where this is headed. If I ever did "that" kind of thing it'd probably be something stupid like spaceheater or deoderant. Although it'd be funny as hell to be in a client meeting and just starting to loudly say "Pineapple! Pineapple!" and running out of the room. Maybe a new interview tactic? "This is my safeword. So if you hear me say it, it means I can't answer the question." An alternative to the old school "I plead the fifth or the sixth, seventh or eighth". I think I'd go with Eighth since it's about cruel and unusual punishment.

SBs to anyone else who can come up with ridiculous safe words like pigeon or Boba or pantry.

I worked in a bank when I was a youngin with some very attractive, yet idiotic, females. They liked to talk about toys often and developed safe words to talk openly even if guests or managers were around. I think one female called hers foofie or something. It was kinda embarrassing to hear, “yea, foofie and I will have some special time together this evening.” A elderly customer asked who foofie was, “oh, just my new puppy.” she fibs. I doubt she would have been able to name a breed if pressed further.

Dog breeds would be another good pool of off the wall safewords. "Poodle! Poodle!" or "Labrador! Labrador!" (am I talking about Canada or the dog?)  or "Doberman! Doberman!" But those girls using pet names like that? I've seen that too. It's so goofy it even reaches cringe levels sometimes.

I've heard "Dragonfruit" is a good one too. Very unique.
