squick
v.— «If I really wanted to get over my squick about, oh, Wonder Bread—and found a dom who was interested in such a scene, and agreed to a no-safeword scene in which I’d be force-fed Wonder Bread until I’d eaten twelve loaves, and decided half-way through that this was really too much.» —“Re: The new 128 Basic slave Rules are finally released!” by Midnight Writer Usenet: soc.subculture.bondage-bdsm Dec. 16, 1997.
