A bulldagger was Black slang for a masculine lesbian. I hadn't heard the word in years until i was reading an old Chester Himes novel. In the book one of the characters mentions a club called Daggers, which the locals called Bulldaggers cuz it was a lesbian joint. It made me wonder how the term went out of the black lexicon so quickly.

White folks use it, too, you know. I hear it every now and then from lesbian friends, usually as a sort of joke.

it's just easier to say dyke or butch
I've never heard the term before, being of black decent. But then again, I also don't have very many gay friends. I think it's used in the gay community more so than the straight community. Could be why I've never heard it.

my good friend (who his gay) refers to all his lesbian friends as bulldaggers... the word is still used. Dyke is more common though.
