What does SM stand for?Good question. SM is an ambiguous combination of letters that could mean any number of things. We all have our first impressions. Perhaps some of you thought sado-masochism, or others thought StepMania or Super Mario. Most of you probably landed between those two extremes, or maybe you had no clue at all. The question is not what the letters S and M replace in letters but what "SM" together represent. It's an ideal. No, not even an ideal. It represents a bond or relationship between people, and what becomes of such a bond when tested against the might of "Time" and "Circumstance." Which brings us back to the original question. Why S? Why M?. Sinister and Malicious, Sorrowful and Mourning, Sadism and Masochism, Saint and Martyr. Perhaps it is an initial, or simply the first letters of two different peoples' names. The answer is: It doesn't matter. For all purposes here, it is arbitrary.
