Hi there-
First off, if this thread is in the wrong forum, then please reroute it. Thanks!
So I searched for "safe word" discussions, but I don't think that this topic has been discussed before. And it relates more to the movie "Serenity" than the Firefly series, but hope ya don't mind! 
And I apologize in advance if this has been discussed before.
Well, here goes: If you were chosen to provide the "safe word" to be used in "Serenity", instead of "Eta Kooram Nah Smech", or (Это курам на смех), what would you have submitted? Post your ideas!
Here are a few rules to keep it simple:
1. If you create the phrase with words you’ve made up (or you don't think exist) or if you use existing words but give them a new meaning, it has to somehow relate to Firefly or Serenity or Joss. And give a possible pronunciation for your creation, too. For example, if the safe word was “Y Tineres!”, I’d say that it could be pronounced like “Ee Tinairez!”. And how it relates is probably obvious...
2. If the safe word sounds like nonsense but it’s actually a phrase in another language, tell what language it is in and its connotation and/or literal meaning, and, if possible, also how to pronounce it. For example, if the safe word was “Eres un cacahuate!”, I’d tell ya that, iirc, it’s in Spanish and pretty much means “You’re a peanut!”.
3. The phrases can not be vulgar or profane to the average reasonable person who sees it.
I just thought it would be fun to see what you would come up with!
Here’s my made-up safe word (can you figure out how it relates?): 
Thanks!

*waits for the inevitable entry of Jadehand and BlackEyedGirl complete with handcuffs and floggers only to be disappointed that the chosen Safeword topic is only about Serenity....*

Out of curiosity, I wanted to see if "Y tineres" (my example "made-up" safe word) showed up in a google search ( http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=on&q=%22y+tineres%22 ). I didn't think there would be any hits in spanish, but there is an osha manual from an Oregon website or two that puts together the words "Pintura y tineres".
Does anyone know if "tineres" is an actual word in Spanish? If so, what does it mean? Does it have to do with paint somehow? Wild.

Personally, I'd use 'go to sleep you insane, freakish little girl of ultimate doom'. Might be a bit too long, though. There's a good chance nobody else would say it in conversation and accidentally put her to sleep, I think.
