A nincompoop. A foolish person.

(Used by Jason Schwartzman in the TV show "Bored to Death" in episode 5 of season 2 in reference to a question he asked Vikrum earlier in the episode about what the answer to "42 down" was in the papers crossword puzzle. He later calls Vikrum a "42 down".)

Referring to women who are sexually or romantically attracted to other women. Applies to both lesbians and bisexual women, as it is only the same-sex attraction that matters, not any other attractions the women may have.

Originates from the Greek poet Sappho, a bisexual woman from the Isle of Lesbos, from which we get the term lesbian.
