I was just reading a post about doms safewording, and my slightly warm take was “what in the hell are you all on about?” I literally cannot envision a scenario where I would need a code phrase to express distress. 

But upon reflection, I realized that has less to do with me than the company I keep. I wouldn’t be involved with a girl so emotionally detached and self-involved that she’d need me to “avocado kumquat!” just to let her know I’m going through something.
