EN: lesbian (slang)
A colloquial, sometimes dated, term for a lesbian. It can range from neutral to derogatory depending on the speaker and context, so read the room. It’s like the prequel to the more modern and widely accepted terms. Some older titas might still use this.
Shortened from "tomboy".
Can be considered offensive by some. More neutral or preferred terms include "tomboy" (in its local context), "lesbiyana," or simply part of the "LGBTQ+ community."
