I- I don’t understand. They were doing some sort of Pavlovian dom/sub kink play?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 71 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I believe that's called "puppy play."

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 59 points 10 months ago

possibly pet play or hypnosis but definitely conditioning play

would recommend it's fun

[–] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

either that or hypnotic suggestion

What on earth is "snapping" fingers?

Oh! I've only ever known this as clicking, not snapping.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 49 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Where are you from?

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 35 points 10 months ago (2 children)

The UK.

What a silly place.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 46 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Fascinating. My folks are from the Norwich area and they always say snapping. I'm sure it's a regional thing like everything is in the UK lol.

[–] fistac0rpse@fedia.io 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Off topic, but I only know of Norwich from Alan Partridge. Is he well known/liked there?

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

No idea. My fam left probably before he was very well known.

[–] reptar@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is that the Firefly pilot?

[–] Ageroth@reddthat.com 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's Alan tudyk

[–] reptar@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Ah darn. I'm trying to remember how to remember.

Alan two dick. Got it

It's when you bend your fingers so far back that the bones snap.
Pretty common in America, rather than the less painful 'clicking' made elsewhere.
