Finger

[edit]

http://www.londonslang.com/db/d/ suggests "dyke - lesbian. The term is used throughout the country and in the US etc. It is of unknown origin, but I like to think it comes from the story of the boy who stuck his finger in the dyke." — This comment was unsigned.

uncommon

[edit]

Why is this tagged as uncommon, when it gets more b.g.c. hits than dike? --Connel MacKenzie 23:12, 16 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hrm. Seems to have been a bad rollback or something (yikes, that I did.) --Connel MacKenzie 23:14, 16 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Well...

[edit]

We shouldn't have dike and dyke just pointing at each other. Dyke started first, so let's park the definitions here pending a consensus to the contrary. — LlywelynII 18:57, 11 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Boadicea

[edit]

I guess the Boadicea theory has fallen out of favor now? I didnt believe in it myself, but I was surprised that we dont even mention it. Soap 08:34, 7 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
