One can hope. Although I hope I didn't come across too mean just because then that doesn't really solve anything. She then says to me "Well what then am I supposed to say?" I said and this other girl and I rang out at the same time "lesbian!"

So does the word dyke work sort of like "nigger".. you can only say it if you're one? Because I hear the word dyke a lot in movies and tv and I am really not sure how the word sounds to a native ear. My English skills are limited when it comes to things like these.

Well, we had a discussion along those exact same lines last night. I don't think you can only use it if you are one, but she said it not nice whatsoever, and meant it (in the word and the context around it) to degrade this girl she was talking about. So that's when I had to say that she said it with a very derogatory tone, and that I couldn't stand for. Does that make sense? That's an excellent point though.
