Hyphenated switch roll titles: Is where the switch placed matter?
Post Body

So I love language jokes. I love how the use of a particular word can change the meaning to be funny or wrong or naughty. I very much enjoy playing with written syntax when it's spoken aloud to be taken literally ("I'll meet you at 7:30/8." "7:38? That's very specific.")

But it also causes confusion at times, specifically with identification and how it interacts with a secondary identification. In this case, specifically with the title of "switch" when paired with "Dom" or "sub", and what it means when it comes before or after the other two titles.

Is it the understanding that a "Dom-switch" is a Dominant that can switch? Is the reverse of that, a "switch-Dom", someone that's switch but prefers to be the Dom?

Or is it the other way where a "sub-switch" is a switch that prefers to sub? Where the reverse, a "switch-sub" is a sub that can switch?

What is the consensus here?

a) Dom/sub title before switch tells their primary roll; switch title first tells they prefer what's after.

b) Dom/sub title before switch tells their preference despite being switch; switch title first tells they can switch with the follow up their primary roll.

C) There is no rule, and it's up to the individual that picked their hyphenated roll title to be more specific as to what their primary/preferred roll is.
