cherche la femme

This isn't the normal spelling its "Cherchez" but I didn't want the sole definition under this spelling to stand uncorrected. It literally means seek (or look) for the woman. The phrase is outdated and rare in modern text. It was not normally used to blame all problems on women, but rather to say that when a man has done something odd, or otherwise unaccountable, perhaps even committed a crime when he was not previously a criminal - then "look for the woman" There was a woman involved. Not that she was necessarily to blame, but that the man had acted because of her in some way. The idea was that men are often rash and fools where women are concerned.

Why would Bill have left work and gotten drunk in the middle of the day like that? It's just not like him. "Cherche la femme, my friend"

hard femme

Not to be mistaken with the typical femme, the "hard femme" describes herself as "queer", is political, looks more feminine than masculine, and if prompted, can kick some serious ass. She doesn't need to "wear the pants" in a relationship- the hard femme rules with a dress. She not only despises the gender binary, she works to dismantle it.

Misogynist Butch: "There she is! It's that femme I told you about that tried to wear one with me!"
(Not necessarily misogynist) Butch #2: You should've known better. That girl's got "hard femme" written all over her.

femme lesbian

A female homosexual that still follows the average female attire attributes. This is the opposite of the stereotypical "butch" lesbian, whom dresses more like the male gender.

Sally: So the othe day I met this cute gay girl you might like.
Hannah: Is she a butch or a femme.
Sally: Definitely a femme lesbian, like you.
