The implications of safewords..

[CuddleDom]

I always made it point to thank my sub afterwards for using a safe word. So she knew she had not done anything wrong and also understood I would be upset if she didn't use her safeword when needed.

I agree with Ozme52, only one word is needed. However just not the word "mercy" since that can be used as part of a scene.

@WyldWyl, what is the difference between yellow and blue then ? Forgive my ignorance but I thought yellow was a pause, to adjust for cramp or the like.

Well, any word can be used as part of a scene... Mercy works because it just isn't part of our daily vocabulary.
Most of the other words people "tend" to suggest are far more common. Even Family Guy's "Banana" is more likely to come up in our conversations.

No one has ever said to me "Is that a Mercy in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

LOL yes banana is one I have used. I agree any word that would not come up in daily or more specifically scene use. Also one that is easy to use. for instance "mayday" works for people of many languages and a sub/slave may revert to her native language hence my liking for that one.
