Leabian Hanky Code

Posted on 27. May, 2009 by Sasha in Featured

This last Saturday I was out at one of the local lesbian dive bars and I saw a butch chick  flaggin’ an orange hankie right in the center of the back of her pants. I was trying to remember what orange meant, it had to be something good. But I was also trying to figure out what it meant if you wear a hanky in the middle. So I did a little research and here you go:

Hankies are usually worn in either the back left or right pockets, however, they can also be worn around the wrist, around the ankle or leg at the thigh above the knee, or around the neck with the knot/tie going either right or left.  Other objects can also be used such as keys and key chains or watch fobs and even a set of handcuffs (Bondage), to let people know if you are ‘top’ or ‘bottom’.

Left = Top/Active

Right = Bottom/Passive

If worn in the back on the center belt loop, it translates as ‘versatile’.

Here are some of my favorites: (Remember left/right = top/bottom)
Black – heavy SM

Grey – bondage

Grey w/black – light SM

Black w/White stripe – likes black bottoms or tops (depending on which side you’re flaggin’)

Charcoal – latex fetish

Black Velvet – takes videos/will perform for the camera

Blue, Robin’s egg – 69er/anything but 69ing

Blue, Navy – fucker (top), fuckee (bottom)

Red – fister/fistee

Red w/White Stripe – shaver/shavee

Maroon – cuts/bleeds

Red, Dark – 2 hand fister/fistee

Pink, Light – strap-on fucker/fuckee

Fuschia – spanker/spankee

Gold – two looking for one/one looking for two

Orange – anything anything/nothing now just cruising

Apricot – two tons o’ fun/chubby chaser

Green, Kelly – hustler(for rent)/john (looking to buy)

Green, hunter – daddy/looking for daddy

Olive Drab – military top/military bottom

Beige – rimmer/rimmee

White velvet – voyeur/will put on a show

Mosquito netting – outdoor sex

White w/multicolor dots – hosting an orgy/looking for an orgy

I need to go shopping …. I’m thinking an olive drab hanky for Remi – for her left pocket and I’ll make do witih a white velvet or orange one …. of course it will look awesome right in the middle ;)

    What about wearing your keys in your front pocket? i heard if you wear it in your front left pocket you’re looking to take someone home. If in your right, you’re looking to be taken back to someone’s home. Or something like that.

    I can always count on you to bring me the perversity of lesbian culture. Does anyone really do this?

    I’ve seen a few women do this at clubs, usually butch women. But how do i know they’re flaggin and not just making a fashion statement?

    Allow me to recount the colors I have in my closet and see what said colors reveal about my sexual proclivities:
    Black, Grey, Charcoal, Blue Robin’s Egg, Blue Navy, Dark Red, Light Pink… In short, I’m a whore up for anything. Yeah, that’s about right ;)

    oh shit, who knew that bandanas meant anything? i usually go with a black one in my right pocket, but it actually means “i’m left handed so my wallet’s in my left pocket so this guy’s gotta go on the right and i just like black bandanas.”

    Hmmm, I have never seen this before. Maybe this is more of an LA thing? I need to go out and do some research ;)

    Here in Philly, some wear them just because. Oh, and Color doesn’t signify anything. P.S. It’s been 10 L-o-n-g Days. When will you blog again. You’re an everyday addiction !

    It’s not a LESBIAN hanky code, it’s just A hanky code. Gay men started it long long ago. Now a days, even heteros use it. The colours are pretty consistent regardless of gender or attraction.
    Also, other subcultures want in on the act:

    Imagine a Granny Hanky Code. What’s the code for “pinches cheeks”?

    hmm. i thought the hanky code is only for gay men?!

    if not… damn! last few times i saw a hot butch girl with her bandanas, but she had hers at various spots (like pocket, around the neck, on wrist)… and what colour they were.

    Do people actually do this??? Well I know that the gay boys started this back in the day and it’s not super popular among lesbians now days, however the inspiration for this blog happened when I saw several very butch women “flaggin” at the clubs. Maybe it was just a fashion statement? Maybe it was just my hopeful imagination that made me think they were looking for a good time?

    But yes, some people do actually do this, mostly in the BDSM scene though, I think.

    This is pretty popular in Portland, Oregon’s queer community
