Wow. I've never heard that term before. I guess in this case Google is your friend (I think ).

Wow! I can't wait to go home and tell Mom the new word I learned today. What's really funny is that I almost asked my next-door coworkers if they knew what this word meant before I looked it up.

I haven't Googled it, but the way everyone is responding to it makes me feel like I wrote something dirty. Sapphic is just another word for lesbian....from the ancient Greek poetess Sappho who lived on the Isle of Lesbos [which is where we get the term lesbian].

Tishala, there is absolutely nothing dirty about it, in my mind. I just wasn't aware of the word.

I knew it. But I thought both Sapphos and Lesbos were Greek islands. Sappho was a poet who lived on Lesbos, it turns out.

The first time I heard that word, it was on an episode of "all in the family" and two people came to the bunkers door and one was a "sister of Sappho" meaning she was a lesbian. Archie Bunker and a sister of Sappho.....good TV right there

READY OR NOT: Eminem and ex-wife Kim Mathers picking up their marriage license on Thursday in Michigan. The couple is rumored to be retying the knot this Saturday, though there's no official confirmation.

Tish, I don't think anyone thought of the word as being dirty. For me, it was the surprise when I understood Lindsay Lohan's behavior in that story. I have a hard time seeing how some of the Disney kids are behaving in adulthood (i.e., Britney, Christina, Lindsay).

Last night on Entertainment Tonight, or one of those shows, they did a segment on Nicole Kidman. She was sporting a big flashy diamond, which she kept trying to hide and kept rubbing her stomach. It was at a dinner honoring Rupert Murdoch.
