Some folks claim (either humorously or otherwise) that they can detect whether or not an individual is gay. They refer to this ability as their "gay-dar", short for gay-radar. By extension, S&M-dar would be short for S&M radar and lesbian-dar short for lesbian radar. The last two are new to me, but logical. Now excuse me...my breakfast-dar just went off.
