Valencian

Homenenca

The Valencian word Homenenca, which we can translate into the English language as mannish refers to a woman with a gender expression that does not correspond to the female stereotype, and that can be used as a lesbian euphemism. The masculine version of this word, Homenenc, referring to a woman is already found in the 17th century in Father Mulet texts, and in its feminine form, “homenenca”, already in the 19th century in the Escrig dictionary (1851).
