A term used by Germans, very commonly towards Americans, as an insult/expletive. It's not the most horrible thing to say, however it is a term that can be correlated with both the terms "jerk" and "ignoramus".

It is a term to use if one wishes to be impolite.

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.
