Lesbian Scissoring

'Scissoring' is a widely used colloquial term for Tribadism and a category under which several Tribadism Postions fall. The term is easy to arrive at when you consider the body placement and leg entanglement of the most popular tribbing positions. It more effectively refers to the technique, is more familar and rolls off the tongue better than 'Tribadism,' the true term. Some avid fans of the technique call it Scissoring all their lives without ever learning the correct, although obscure, term.

Although certainly in use for some time, the term shot to fame and popularity when it featured strongly in the 'D-Yikes' episode of South Park. As a result, it is probably at least equally in popular use in the pornographic industry as Tribadism and certainly in more popular use in general.

The official name, 'Tribadism,' is a weird looking word and you wouldn't know it unless you were specifically told. I have been browsing the web many times when I've come across something like... "Yeh... i've been doing that my whole life but i've always called it..." Below is an extensive list of known colloqualisms
