        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.

            Sapphic ALWAYS refers to [lesbian] homosexuality in particular (never male) and also always refers to [Fem-Fem] lesbianism. Also, very importantly, implies some sort of witchcraft is involved. From Sappho, who was poetess of the Isle of Lesbos (600 BC). Thus, some understanding of Greek mythology is required to truly understand why the word means this.
            Also, Sapphic engagements tend to always involve young (29 or younger- usually below 23) and beautiful girls that are untainted and have few, if any tattoos or piercings (unless they are totally attractive and symbolize their witchcraft or their allegiance with the dark side). The may have crazy dyed hair colors like blue if they are otherwise completely young and gorgeous.
            Thus, they are [definitely] not like most real lesbians we are used to seeing, and are in fact, largely mythological. A fat [T-primed] bull dyke fingering her hairy-legged [snagletoed] friend named Zoë is [absolutely] not Sapphic
            For some strange and unexplainable reason, (probably cosmic in nature), girls named Nina or Ninah, or any spelling of that name tend to be roommates with Sapphic [sluts]
