1) A earthen slope or wall that is used to regulate water levels (levee/dike)
2) Originally used as a negative slur towards lesbians, this term has now grown to referring a specific type of lesbian. (another related word to this would be fellagirly, brought on by Elvira Kurt.) The "butch look, femme attitude" has recently taken definition to the term dyke by the LGBT community.
2b. While this is currently true, many other-generational LGBT members find dyke to be very derogatory and hurtful.
Additionally, if the word is used by an LGBT individual, it is taken as joke/description/word.
However, if a non-LGBT individual uses such a word towards a lesbian, it is thought to evoke similar reactions as would nigger to a black person (or so on and so forth)

1) Hurricane Katrina devastated the country when it broke through New Orleans' dyke.

Get the dykemug. A word that has been reclaimed by some lesbians and queer woman as a term of empowerment.
It could be from the name Boudica (or Boadicea or Boudicca) who was a queen of the celts and was the leader of the only army to ever defeat the Romans in battle. Eventually the Romans did defeat her andher army. She was captured and died by suicide of swallowing poison.

Get the dykemug. 1. An embankment which is constructed to hold back a sea or a river to prevent flooding an area. It is also considered an alternate spelling to dike
2. A derogatory slur which to degrade lesbians, most likely for their masculine features. However some say the term has become a double-standard amongst lesbians in similar ways that the term nigger is used amongst black people. Just as dyke is to lesbians, the term faggot could be applied to queers as well.
