Safeword

A safeword is like a secret phrase or code word that two people can agree on. It's like a way for someone to be able to tell someone else to stop whatever it is they are doing without actually saying it. For example, if someone was playing a game with their friends and the game was getting too wild, they could say the safeword and everyone would know to stop what they're doing. That way, everyone knows they can feel safe and won't get hurt.
