Hanky Codes
From BME Encyclopedia
Hanky codes are a system for distinguishing sexual interests in public. As the BDSM world expanded in the 1970s, the "Hanky Code" system evolved as a set of icons by which to publicly state one's sexual interests without being too vulgar. The basic idea is that each color has a certain meaning, and by wearing it in your left (dominant) or right (submissive) back pocket, you tell the others at the party what you're looking for.
