(pl. bulldikers) Alternate forms: bull-diker (pl. bull-dikers), bulldyker (pl. bulldykers), bull-dyker (pl. bull-dykers) Etymology: Unknown. Some of the main theories that have been suggested are: (1) formation from bull (meaning nonsense, untruthful talk or writing, etc.) + dick (the penis) + -er, overall suggesting a false version of, or replacement of, “traditional” masculinity; (2) formation from bull (meaning nonsense, untruthful talk or writing, etc.) + dicker (a sexually powerful man, although this use is not known independently before the 1960s); alternatively, but along the same lines, it could be bull + dick (a generic man or a male sexual partner specifically) + -er, suggesting the same as etymology 1 in either case; (3) formation from bull (with reference to masculine sexual prowess) and dicker, an obsolete 19th century slang form meaning to bargain or to chaffer, which may relate to the 1906 use in the Red Light district of Philadelphia and use among sex workers (however the corruption from dicker to diker is unclear, and suffers from the same problems as etymology 4); or (4) bull (with reference to masculine sexual prowess) + an element of unknown origin (it cannot be dyke as that use appears significantly later). Potentially this second element could be a corruption of dicker, as the agentive form of dick (used as a verb to mean “to have penetrative sexual intercourse with someone”). This use has been reported since 1892 according to the OED, which reports use in the Southwestern Reporter as follows: “He would meet Sara Lee Rimmer there… at night, and ‘dick’ her, meaning that he would have carnal knowledge of her”. With that being said, the form bull-dicker is rare and not known before the 1940s, casting some doubt on this method of origin (as well as the potential origins suggested in etymologies 2 and 3. The unknown element within etymology 4 could be any number of things. Potentially, since dock workers were a large portion of the clientele of sex workers, dyker could have formed from docker. Alternatively, compare the Swedish term dykare, the Danish term dykker, the Dutch term duiker, the Yiddish term דייווער (deyver), and the Norwegian terms dykkar, dykker, and dukker (all meaning “diver”, compare the more recent English slang coinage muffdiver, reported as early as the 1920s). Note Swedish and Dutch colonization of the Delaware River, where Philadelphia lies today, as well as immigration of approximately 1.3 million Swedish people to the United States between 1820 and 1930, surpassed only by the United Kingdom and Norway. Further consider the large number of Jewish immigrants to Philadelphia. Finally, compare earlier slang use of the term diver to refer to a pickpocket and top diver to refer to a womanizer (later used to refer to a lesbian).

(abbr. BD or B.D.) Alternate forms: bull-dike, bull-dyke, bulldike

bulldyke n. (pl. bulldykes) Alternate forms: bull-dike (pl. bull-dikes), bull-dyke (pl. bull-dykes), bulldike (pl. bulldikes) Etymology: Unknown, although several theories have been developed, with three of the most prominent being: (1) a backformation of the earlier bulldyker (see bulldiker above) or bulldyking (see below); (2) related in some sense to the alias of Harvey Neal, who was known as “Bulldyke” according to a 1892 report in the Daily Inter Ocean, and (3) formed from bull (with reference to male sexual prowess) and dyke. Of these, the third is almost certainly incorrect, as variants of bulldyke predate dyke. The second is intriguing, but no evidence suggests any connection, with the form ‘bulldykers’ being first reported in Philadelphia, not Chicago. Therefore etymology 1 is considered the most likely. For more information, see bulldiker above. Usage notes: While reclaimed by some, the term is considered offensive when used outside of lesbian, bisexual female, queer female, and women-loving-women (WLW) circles.

(comparative butcher or more butch, superlative butchest or most butch) Alternate forms: Butch Etymology: Formed from use of butch as a noun, although note that the sense of a masculine nickname likely originated first as an adjective before application as a noun. (originally United States) A nickname applied to a tough, violent, or physically fit man; often reported among criminal outlaws, especially burglars, as with Butch Cassidy (1866 – 1908). 1873 Buckskin Mose, or, Life from the Lakes to the Pacific: “Amongst these [fellows] was Ben Painter, Luther Spencer, … ‘Butch’ Hasbrouck, and a number of others. 1902 Pinkerton’s National Detective Agency Circular: “George Parker, alias ‘Butch’ Cassidy, alias George Cassidy.” Of a person, that is or resembles a tough, violent, or physically fit man; more generally, demonstrating qualities traditionally or stereotypically associated with masculinity. 1939 Esquire: “Two-fisted and very ‘butch’ truck drivers.” (originally and chiefly United States) Referring to a butch cut or butch haircut, a type of short haircut often referred to now as a crew cut. 1939 Oelwein Daily Register: “Nine out of ten junior girls agreed that they definitely did not like ‘butch’ haircuts.” 1949 the Asphalt Jungle: “His white-blond hair disfigured by a butch haircut.” (gay male) In reference to a man, heterosexual or having the appearance of heterosexual masculinity. 1949 Gay Year: “You don’t have to keep up the butch act with me, Cutie.

(pl. butches) [en] Alternate forms: Butch (pl. Butches) Etymology: Use to refer to a knife appears as a shortening of the term butch knife, itself apparently a shortening of the phrase butcher’s knife (compare also the later use of butcher knife to refer to the penis in the context of anal intercourse in gay male slang). Other senses also appear to be related to the term butcher (note also the reporting of the term butcher as slang to refer to the penis). This term originally described a person who dealt with the slaughter and preparation of animal flesh for food, and later came to mean an individual whose trade from preparation and selling of meat. Later this use came to be extended into referring to a person who slaughters people, i.e. a murderer, often in an indiscriminate and brutal manner, akin to a slaughterer of animals. In obsolete senses, butcher came to be used to refer to executioners and scourges. Compare the verb form butch, used originally to refer to the slaughtering of an animal, but later extended in the same way. The image of violence was then extended as a nickname for men considered to be tough or violent, and later, as physically fit. From there the nickname came to be a general moniker for masculinity. It is unknown if the transference of this masculinity to women and lesbians (first attested in 1942 as an adjective and reported in 1947 on its own) predated its shortened use to refer to a butch haircut, also associated with masculinity (first attested in 1944 on its own, but butch haircut is known as early as 1939). Note that the 1947 use in Vice Versa specifically references “close-cropped hair” (hair cut very short) akin to a crew cut or butch haircut.

But I’ve seen some pretty curvaceous butches.” 1997 Bisexual Imaginary: Representation, Identity, and Desire, p. 30: “Coming out appeals to the narcissistic pleasure of presenting to another a finished image of ourselves, which they return to us in exactly the same form: [someone tells] you [they are] a bisexual butch, and you confirm it. But instead, it seems all too likely – especially, perhaps, for bisexuals, whose claims to identity always need that much more proof – that no such mirror-image will be returned.” 2002 Fantabulosa: A Dictionary of Polari and Gay Slang, p. 92: “a butch can be used to refer to a masculine acting… lesbian.” 2003 Gayle: The Language of Kinks and Queens: A History and Dictionary of Gay Language in South Africa, p. 60: “masculine lesbian” 2021 The Queens’ English, p. 53: “In the lesbian community, a woman who possesses a masculine appearance and behaviors.” (originally United States, gay male) A gay man who is masculine in terms of appearance, character, attitude, or aesthetic.

Of these, it is generally agreed that etymology 3 is the most likely. See bulldyke for more information.

This itself is a borrowing of the Japanese ニャー, referring to the sound a cat makes, equivalent to the English meow. The use of nyaa itself derives from the heavy presence of kemonomimi (獣耳, “animal ears”) in anime and manga, including of nekomusume (猫娘, “catgirl”). Such anime and manga are digested commonly in North America and have been a mainstay of the U.S. American cultural appetite since the late 1990s, although it is stereotypically assumed that trans women consume more anime and manga than cisgender people do.

It appears that this theory derives from a mistranslation of mofskaap as “castrated sheep,” with that origin related to the stereotype that gay men are not masculine. More likely is derivation from mof, said of livestock which are considered to be unsuited for South African conditions, usually due to cross-breeding with imported animals. See mof and moffie (adj.) above for more information. From there, the term mutated into moffie and then was used to refer to individuals said to lack toughness. This translated later into a sense of unmanliness, which then was transferred to gay men, and later to male-to-female crossdressers. Another theory suggests abbreviation of the Afrikaans term moffiedaai, a dialectal variant or hermafrodiet (“hermaphrodite”). Alternate forms: moffee (pl. moffees) (South Africa) A hermaphroditic animal or an animal possessing characteristics sexed in relationship to production of spermatozoa and oocytes. 1983 Daily Dispatch: “A kind of fish species in which you can’t tell the difference between male and female.

(pl. moffies) [en] Etymology: Unknown. One theory proposes derivation from the Dutch slang mofrodiet (“hermaphrodite”). Another poses potential descent from the British nautical jargon mophy (“a delicate well-groomed youth”) as well as mollie (alternate form molly), referring generally to a feminine gay man. Yet another considers direct descent from the Afrikaans moffie, itself deriving from mofskaap, mof, or moffiedaai. See moffie [af] above for more information. Other unsubstantiated theories which are almost certainly untrue are derivation from the Afrikaans moffie meaning “mitten” or from the English mauve, which became associated with being gay in the 1890s (with that decade known as the Mauve Decade). (South Africa, derogatory, slang) A male-to-female crossdresser. 1960 The Goddam White Man: “Moffies.

[zh] Etymology: Orthographic borrowing from the Japanese surname 神楽坂 (Kagurazaka). The surname may originate from the Kagurazaka neighborhood in Tokyo, likely named as such around the 1820s, in the Edo Period. Supposedly the name originates from the shrines which echoed through the streets, with 神楽 (kagura, referring to sacred dancing and music performed at Shinto ceremonies) and 坂 (zaka, referring to hillside farmland or a slope or hill). Kagurazaka was (and is) known as a 花街 (hanamachi, “flower town”), where geisha (芸者) live and work. The usage by male-to-female crossdressers and trans women may be connected to a misunderstanding of Kagurazaka’s reputation, as geisha have stereotypically (and almost exclusively falsely) been connected with sex work, or is may have been a correct understanding of geisha as performing artists with distinct appearances (or it may be entirely unconnected). Usage online is said to have originally begun as a result of Google+’s strict username policy, before later being popularized by Taiwanese male-to-female crossdresser Unrei Kagurazaka (romanization uncertain; unable to find resources regarding this individual; rendered as 神楽坂雯麗 in Chinese). This use then later spread to mainland China. The Kagurazaka neighborhood in Tokyo, Japan. Orthographic borrowing of the Japanese surname 神楽坂 (Kagurazaka). Popular username (or part of username) utilized by male-to-female crossdressers and trans persons assigned male at birth in China for their online personas. she/they crisis n.
