Dyke (slang) - Dyke Bars

Dyke Bars

A dyke bar is any bar or club which lesbians often attend, but can also indicate a "tougher" establishment (in terms of the patrons or environment). As with the stand-alone word "dyke," the term is considered not only slang, but a potential slur when used by non-LGBT persons.

Famous quotes containing the words dyke and/or bars:

    Oh, it’s home again, and home again, America for me!
    I want a ship that’s westward bound to plow the rolling sea,
    To the blessed Land of Room Enough beyond the ocean bars,
    Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars.
    —Henry Van Dyke (1852–1933)

    Howling and roaring
    Toe’osh scattered white people
    out of bars all over Wisconsin.
    Leslie Marmon Silko (b. 1948)
