babydyke

Used in most Western lesbian sub-cultures.

A lesbian girl who looks, or who actually is, younger than age 18. Babydykes are usually quite femme (ie: feminine looking & acting) but will often have short hair, and some can be baby bulldykes (ie: hyper-masculine lesbians).

"The other two dykes just came out - one is a complete babydyke, while the other has been watching and learning - she's butching up and won't be a babydyke long."

"These 'experimental' art-videos are so opaque and self-indulgent they fairly scream 'self-financed by a 15 year-old babydyke schoolgirl'".
