Willkillforfood 2006-04-05 09:05 PM

I don't even know all the words involved in BDSM. Titusfied, care to enlighten?

Lenny 2006-04-06 01:00 AM

If you don't know the words involved then how can you use the acronym without knowing that you're using it in entirely the wrong context?

Titusfied 2006-04-06 09:01 AM

OMG LOL, I'm seriously ROTFFLMAO!! LOLLERSKATES & ROFLCOPTERS!! GG. FTW!!

I BDSM is bondage, but I don't know what the specific letters mean. Just like "SOS", most people know what it means but don't know whether or not the letters symbolize specific words (they don't.)

gruesomeBODY 2006-04-06 05:36 PM

Isn't SOS stand for "Save Our Ship." So how can't they specify words?

Willkillforfood 2006-04-06 09:22 PM

SOS does not mean "Save Our Ship." At least according to "Mail Call" and however many other shows I've watched. SOS means ship in distress, but not in an acronym since those don't match the letters in "SOS."

gruesomeBODY 2006-04-06 10:01 PM

Well, if you think about it "Save our SHip" means "Ship in distress, so help us." i remember i read something on WWII subs vets and they use to use the SOS when they were in trouble and needed help because their ship was either broken or sunk.

Titusfied 2006-04-07 07:41 AM

SOS is just an international acronym for help. It might have originated during the war or something, but I don't think it is an actual abbreviation for anything. I mean, people use it when they aren't on ships, so why would that make sense?

Lenny 2006-04-07 10:43 AM

Save Our Souls!!

I still don't know what BDSM stands for. Come on! Enlighten me!!

GutterMind 2006-04-07 12:23 PM

HERE IS THE BEST DEFINITION I COULD FIND - ENLIGHTEN YOURSELF...

All right, so what is "BDSM"?

"BDSM" is an acronym of "B&D" (Bondage & Discipline), "D&S" (Dominance & Submission), and "S&M" (sadomasochism). "BDSM" refers to any or all of these things, and a lot of stuff besides.

Tying up your lover is BDSM; so is flogging that person, or bossing that person around, or any of a thousand other things. BDSM is highly erotic, usually (though not always) involves sex or sexual tension; and is highly psychologically charged. One person (the "submissive") agrees to submit to another person (the "dominant"); or, alternately, one person agrees to receive some sort of sensation, such as spanking, from another.

Some people like to be submissive all the time, some people like to be dominant all the time; some people like to switch, being submissive one day and dominant the next.

Many people practice some element of BDSM in their sexual lives without even necessarily being aware of it. They may think of "S&M" as "That sick stuff that people do with whips and cattle prods and stuff," yet still blindfold one another from time to time, or tie one another down and break out the whipped cream...

All of these things are "BDSM." BDSM is not necessarily hardcore sadomasochism; it can be remarkably subtle and sensual and soft. Pinning your partner to the bed and running silk or ice cubes or rabbit fur over your lover's body qualifies as "BDSM" (specifically, of a variety called "sensation play").

AND AS FAR AS S.O.S. - THIS IS THE BEST I COULD FIND ON IT...

There is much mystery and misinformation surrounding the origin and use of maritime distress calls. Most of the general populace believes that "SOS" signifies "Save Our Ship." Casual students of radio history are aware that the use of "SOS" was preceded by "CQD." Why were these signals adopted? When were they used?

The practical use of wireless telegraphy was made possible by Guglielmo Marconi in the closing years of the 19th century. Until then, ships at sea out of visual range were very much isolated from shore and other ships. The wireless telegraphers used Morse Code to send messages. Morse Code is a way of "tapping" out letters using a series of dots (short signals) and dashes (long signals). Spoken, short signals are referred to as "dih" and long signals are referred to as "dah". The letter "A" is represented by a dot followed by a dash:

By 1904 there were many trans-Atlantic British ships equipped with wireless communications. The wireless operators came from the ranks of railroad and postal telegraphers. In England a general call on the landline wire was a "CQ." "CQ" preceded time signals and special notices. "CQ" was generally adopted by telegraph and cable stations all over the world. By using "CQ," each station receives a message from a single transmission and an economy of time and labor was realized. Naturally, "CQ," went with the operators to sea and was likewise used for a general call. This sign for "all stations" was adopted soon after wireless came into being by both ships and shore stations.
In 1904, the Marconi company suggested the use of "CQD" for a distress signal. Although generally accepted to mean, "Come Quick Danger," that is not the case. It is a general call, "CQ," followed by "D," meaning distress. A strict interpretation would be "All stations, Distress."

At the second Berlin Radiotelegraphic Conference 1906, the subject of a danger signal was again addressed. Considerable discussion ensued and finally SOS was adopted. The thinking was that three dots, three dashes and three dots could not be misinterpreted. It was to be sent together as one string.

The Marconi Yearbook of Wireless Telegraphy and Telephony , 1918 states, "This signal [SOS] was adopted simply on account of its easy radiation and its unmistakable character. There is no special signification in the letter themselves, and it is entirely incorrect to put full stops between them [the letters]." All the popular interpretations of "SOS," "Save or Ship," "Save Our Souls," or "Send Out Succour" are simply not valid. Stations hearing this distress call were to immediately cease handling traffic until the emergency was over and were likewise bound to answer the distress signal.

Although the use of "SOS" was officially ratified in 1908, the use of "CQD" lingered for several more years, especially in British service where it originated.
