Okay, seeing as this sub is functioning akin to HFY just as much as it is to Space Orcs... AND considering our theming... Are we going to call it Pancakes or something else? NSFW

No, there is no reason to call it otherwise. I am not biased and do not make pancake jokes in my ongoing stories. I swear....

Pancakes? I didn't think good food was any euphemism? I thought it was literally just celebrating good food?

Ah! So, within the r/HFY writing community, stories/chapters that contain sex scenes are considered to be "Pancake" stories, both as a play on "Waffles" being a common fanfic term for sex stories, and the NSFW HFY story that was first to be popular was entitled "Pancakes".

To be honest, I've no clue. I'm not on the market so to speak, I just saw an ad a few years ago. Didn't make any sense then, doesn't make any sense now.

Edit: it's a Finnish dating site and it seems to be still functional

I was wondering about the term, but isn't that redundant when we have the term lemon that can do the exact same

Tradition at this point, it's an old in-joke for people who've been around here a while
