An alternative to the traditionally used term "lesbian" to describe a woman who is attracted exclusively to other women. The term originated in the Friends episode entitled "The One With Monica's Boots" by Jack Sumner, who is Sting's fictional son.
Synonym for lesbian, but humorous to confuse the straights.
Possible Lesbanims: rugby players, softball players, Kristen Stewart fan clubs, the two old ladies who’ve lived together for years but are “just very close friends”, etc.
