    Re: Need definition of boi and dyke

    Posted by Luminous Soul on September 18, 2009, 1:19 pm, in reply to "Need definition of boi and dyke"

    http://www.urbandictionary.com/

    Boi-in the lesbian community, a young transgendered/androgynous/masculine person who is biologically female and presents themselves in a young, boyish way; a boidyke; often also identifies as genderqueer

    Dyke-A word used to refer to Lesbians. Originally meant to be a slur, it has been "reclaimed" by many Lesbians who might use it to identify themselves of other Lesbians. It is considered rude to use the word "Dyke" unless you self-identify as one.

    Bull dyke-Big, burly, sexy and sweaty. They wear strap ons, wife beaters without a bra and often flaunt mullets or buzz cuts. They are the military mammas, the mechanics and drive your favorite semi. A highly aggressive masculine lesbian(dyke). A Bull Dyke is a 'Hard Core Motha ####a Lesbian' that will beat the living shit out of you if you even look twice at her!!!

    : Hi all,
    :
    : Can someone tell me what boi means? (And
    : state how it's different from butch, if that
    : is somehow not obvious in the definition)
    :
    : Also, I thought dyke was just slang for a
    : lesbian, but in reading posts from last
    : week, I'm not sure. What does dyke mean?
    : And does bull dyke (which I believe is
    : negative slang thrown around by
    : non-lesbians) refers to a masculine lesbian,
    : but does it refer to a butch (I'm guessing
    : not, but then I don't know)...

    : Thanks,
