Pix, thanks. I'm on the iPad, so I'll have to check out the vids on the PC later, where, y'know, Flash works. (Silly Apple!)
Maybe that's why I have a bad feel about "dyke." I was around a (gracefully aging) lesbian couple in a Wiccan coven for several years, and you NEVER heard that word used around them. I might have heard it a couple of times when hanging with a much younger couple, in which the one girl was more butch.
Speaking of butch... I recently heard "soft butch." Would this be a woman who is more of a tomboy, but likes a few girlie things here and there? For example, a girl who loves to play hockey (I did!) but might have a couple gypsy skirts she doesn't mind wearing (exactly two, floor length). And maybe hates makeup but doesn't mind feeling pretty once in a while?
Yes, that's a trying-to-figure-this-thing-out question. :tongue:
