"Lessa" is short for Lesbian in the Icelandic language, but "trukka" basically means "truckin". So we're basically talking about a the kind of a lesbian that drives a truck, but only theoratically. English has the word "dike" but it is not as discriptive, so "trukkalessa" should be the word.

Get the Trukkalessa mug.A fan of Star Trek, aka Trekker, Alhough Gene Roddenberry once mentioned that the only word he acknowledged was Trekkie. Trekkies are commonly known for their unique behavior often memorizing everything there is to know about Star Trek, going too conventions, having every Star Trek episode on VHS or DVD. Mainstream Media often pokes fun at them for being geeks, nerds, or just freaks.
Orgins:
The Term Trekkie can be seen in the novel "the great trek" by E.A. Walker, of course at this point it had no relation whatsoever to Star Trek.
More than 30 years ago, A Science Fiction editor by the name of Art Saha applied the word Trekkies to Star Trek fans when he saw a group of Star Trek fans wearing pointed ears at a Science Fiction convention.

Get the Trekalicious mug.(n.) A fan, avid or otherwise, of at least one Star Trek series or movie. Devotees who totally immerse themselves in this subculture have given this term a somewhat negative stereotype, turning the majority of the fan base into the butt of many lame jokes. More "reality based" Trekkies, hoping to differentiate themselves from the habituous character-emulating, convention-attending crowd, choose to accept the label of "Trekker".
"John has the entire 3 seasons of the original Star Trek on DVD. What a Trekkie!"
"Nah... John's more of a Trekker. At least he doesn't go to half a dozen conventions a year dressed as a Klingon."

Get the Trekkie mug.A fan of Star Trek. They try to own all of the series DVDs, buy all the merchandise they can, and attend all conventions possible. They enjoy watching Star Trek and hanging out with other trekkies. Surprisingly, most of them have lives and are very nice people.

Get the trekkie mug.A fan of any iteration of Star Trek, not just the Next Generation as elsewhere noted.
Original series Star Trek fans have had a preference for trekker, not trekkie, going back to the early '70s and the first conventions.
At about that time, the mainstream media discovered Star Trek fandom with feature stories that usually had a condescending spin, including the term trekkie. These were along the lines of "Who are these trekkies and why do they gather by the thousands to profess their love for an old canceled TV show?"
Those features often focused on the most extreme aspects of fandom that of course looked weirdest to non-fans, and didn't delve into what it was about the show that made fans so passionate. Thus were the beginnings of the "nerdy" cliches that have come to be associated with fans. It was to avoid associations with such cliches that original Star Trek fans became opposed to trekkie and sought to get the more serious-sounding term trekker used.

"Yeah, I'm a Star Trek fan, but I'm not a trekkie, I'm a trekker. Why? Because it better reflects what being a fan is about."
