Safe Take

Similarly defined to a hot take, but it isn't anywhere near as daring or bold. This type of opinion is either already a popular one among the majority of people, or it makes the person expressing the opinion not wrong regardless of the outcome.

Safe Take: "I think Team A will win, but I wouldn't be surprised if Team B does."

Safe Take #2: "The Lakers are going to destroy the Timberwolves."

Safe with the bank

When struggling to keep enough funds in your account and playing the float, knowing for a certain period of time (a day or more) that any check you have written will not bounce, and therefore having some peace of mind for that period of time.

I just deposited $100 into my account, so I am "safe with the bank" until Monday.

The check for the rent will not clear until Friday, the day I am getting paid, so until then, I am safe with the bank.

Safe as fuck

Perverted from the British slang safe, which meant everything from cool to "hello", depending upon context, "safe as fuck" is used to refer to being high, low, or stoned in any context, whether intentionally or not. There is an aspect of the term that is connected to just how out-of-touch the person using the term is; generally, if someone is high enough to use the term, they are only safe in their own minds and should not drive, operate machinery, etc.

Person 1: "Mate, are you fuckin' high?"
Person 2: "Safe as fuck, man, safe as FUCK."

Safe Sexting

The practise of leaving one's face or other distinguishing features out of a sext, in order to ensure deniability should the picture fall into the wrong hands.

My boyfriend's phone got stolen by somebody in the school after we sexted. I'm not worried though. I practise safe sexting.
