Š-L-M

Shin-Lamedh-Mem is the triconsonantal root of many Semitic words, and many of those words are used as names. The root meaning translates to "whole, safe, intact". Its earliest known form is in the name of Shalim, the ancient God of Dusk of Ugarit. Derived from this are meanings of "to be safe, secure, at peace", hence "well-being, health" and passively "to be secured, pacified, submitted".

    S & M

    by: Thin Lizzy

    She walked out of a shady motel
    Into the arms of a sugar daddy
    She'd been having a good time
    Oh but she loved her daddy madly
    She said daddy what can I do
    I want to spend my time making love to you
    But daddy had to run hit and run
    Now he's gone
    This customer was shady he kept a rubber hose
    He liked to beat the ladies
    There's nothing wrong with that I suppose
    "Yes there is,"
    He made them want to shout, "Ouch"
    But this time you better watch out
    He kicked her oh and he beat her
    And he whipped her
    He beat her black and blue
    He just liked the violence said it made him tough
    He just liked the violence said she couldn't get enough
    Couldn't get enough
    Smack
    He beat her like a drum
    This fetish could be foolish
    It could lead to something dangerously wreckless
    To hold your lover helpless
    Could lead to something called a mess
    Unless you like to be tacky
    And kinky, sleasy and slinky
    To make them wanna shout, "Ouch"
    Fight back and scratch out
