About the safe word, , here's a hint:

The FI in it is from "FIrefly".

Does that help?

I'd probably use "Wüten Sie gegen die Nacht, Kind." Partly because it just flows off the tongue, and partly because its in a language not many in the 'Verse seem to speak. And it certainly has something to do with the psychotic behavior.

I ain't lookin' for help from on high. That's a damn long wait for a train don't come.

Looks like your phrase has to do with "night" and "child", but so people don't have to use a machine translation or a German/English dictionary, what does it mean?

When I was younger, an effective phrase that could've been used for me is: "I'm telling mom!!!"

I'd say

"Soltanto i polli scortecciano alla luna la domenica."

Italian: Only chickens bark at the moon on Sunday.

but it would have the side effect of making every normal person in the room flatulate uncontrollably to cover up why the target "passed out".

That's creative sciences at it's best!

I'll tell it to you, if you explain what the hell yours is. I suck at anagrams, so cut me a break.

Hmmm, safe word, eh? How about, "Ich kann ihr Gummischuhe nicht essen?"



And the it means (in German) "I can't eat your overshoes (rubber boots)."

Okay, its lame, but it's certainly not something I'd expect to hear in casual conversation, anyway.

I'll have a think and see if I can come up with better when I have a functual brain.

"Colorless green ideas sleep quickly."

In Cherokee. (And, unfortunately, I don't know how to translate that.)
