Cerberus said...: Huh, I know that old British slang used molly as a term for male homosexual. It seems like it could be related to one of the cockney rhyming slangs, especially with the use of dike.; March 26, 2009 at 4:06 PM
Anonymous said...: maybe related to the term Molly Coddle(d) [passive = kept?]; March 26, 2009 at 4:16 PM
Queers United said...: Ok well if molly means male homosexual, molly dike would make sense as a female homosexual, but why dike with an I and why passive. there must be more to the story.; March 26, 2009 at 5:41 PM
T. R Xands said...: I like Anon brining in molly coddle because that's what I was thinking...I did a quick google search and it looks like it could be molly dike OR molly dyke. I actually got more results for molly dyke.; March 26, 2009 at 6:10 PM
