Noun
bulldagger (plural bulldaggers)
- A masculine or butch lesbian; a bulldyke.
- After a thorough self-examination, in the light of all I had read and heard about dykes and bulldaggers, I reasoned that I had none of the obvious traits—I didn’t wear trousers, or have big shoulders or go in for sports, or walk like a man or even want to touch a woman.1969, Maya Angelou, chapter 35, in I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, New York: Bantam, published 1971, page 238
- You say you’re “Lyte as a Rock,” you get crushed like a pebble
One word, and I’mma bag her
Watch the bitch stagger, cause I don't dig the bulldagger
To me a butch don’t deserve a mic in hand
Somebody tell her to stop acting like a man
She needs something real thick to help her out quick
(What?) And...1992, “Big Mama”, in Roxanne Shanté (lyrics), The Bitch Is Back
