Domestic Discipline Terminology, Descriptions, Acronyms & Glossary

It's time to update The Domestic Discipline Glossary and it is now an ongoing community project. This DD community resource is the most popular Tab Page on the top of this ADDS site. There are a few additions in mind that you'll see here soon, and I also want to open it up to the Domestic Discipline community as an interactive and ongoing project...

When this site was originally published this Glossary was meant to give short descriptions of just some of long time DD terminologies used to help present The ADDS Free DD Guide. Lets continue with that and then add other DD terminologies too. So if there are terms or concepts found here in The ADDS Free DD Guide you need defined, please ask. What I would love to see is YOUR definitions of a terms or concepts found here on ADDS! 
I do ask that the other DD suggestions be definitely Domestic Discipline Lifestyle oriented. 
For example, we all know what a hairbrush is so there is no need to have a definition of a hairbrush with "and it can be used to spank" at the end. But if that same idea is thought outwardly a little farther, some short descriptions of what a general pervertable is would be interesting. If you're feeling shy, Anonymous comments are ok  or if you don't have a way to include a comment, please send your suggestions to my email at adomesticdisciplinesociety@gmail.com

Domestic Discipline (DD) -  Domestic Discipline is the practice of a subtle Dominant and submissive type of lifestyle, with the emphasis on the relationship first, then and only then is spanking as a disciplinary action or punishment discussed. The Dominant partner is known as the Head of Household (HOH). The submissive partner is Taken in Hand (TIH). When implemented ideally, DD is the caring, consensual, consistently fair use of structure, accountability and discipline as a positive way to enhance communication, deepen intimacy and reinforce relationship commitment. The discipline normally includes one of many styles of  disciplinary actions or measures, but first centers around rules of behavior asked for by one partner and agreed to by the other.
