In the gay leather hanky code, orange is the wildcard. It doesn't lock you into one kink — it broadcasts that you're open, adventurous, and down to negotiate just about anything. Worn back left pocket = you take the lead; back right = you receive. The code itself started in the 1970s so men could cruise each other in bars without saying a word out loud, back when saying it out loud was dangerous.
“He had an orange hanky in his left pocket, which is leather-speak for 'surprise me, I'm game.'”
