Ok here's where language bars us, does dyke tyke mean the child of a lesbian? If so, no wonder you say. My friend growing up was such a product of said union. He was an odd one with a little more than confusion when he got older.

homeschooled kids do it weirder....

Interesting interpretation - Dyke Tyke is a term my librarian friends came up with for me - a straight fella that hangs out with Librarians, but I reckon the child of a lesbian also works.

Very appropriate for you considering certain sections of your fanbase.

thordora said...

that's a WEIRD definition....

and here i thought it meant a little girl who insisted on getting her hair cut short, climbed trees, and was really, really good at softball. as a teacher in an urban high school, i've just started getting kids with two moms. they're absolutely no different than any of the other wacko's i teach. thordora's right on the money - homeschooled kids are the ones you have to watch out for.

So if you have an expression for a straight dud that likes to hang with lesbians, then are you also familiar with the term "fag hag" or is that something that is only used in N.America?

Totally, this card was a sequel to the 'your the best' (fag hag in town)

I'm alllll about equality.

Rowan said...

librarians? Huh? you've lost me again. i'm slow! No offense to anyone, I didn't mean anything by it?!? OH, and the boy I mentioned, the women were messed in this case: he never had a dad, the one was the manliest woman I've ever met, and the other went back to using heroin, so that could have something to do with his cruelty to animals and homophobia.

I'm a fag hag apparently.

Guess I'm a dyke sprite (or whatever) too.

You're everbody's friend, Trillion! Except that list of folk who you want to skewer.

my friend Betsy uses the term "fag magnet" to describe herself. she says it's not so much that she finds herself attracted to gay men as friends, but more that all the fags love her, and want to be around her! i actually think she is right about that.
