What is the origin of the term "todger dodger" and how is it used?
Todger dodger is a slang term that appeared in mid-20th-century English as a crude, mocking label for a lesbian woman. "Todger" is slang for a penis, and "dodger" implies avoidance, so the phrase humorously or insultingly emphasizes sexual orientation. Historically, it was derogatory, used to insult or ridicule lesbian women, and it retains a strongly mocking and offensive tone. Today it is largely historical and would be considered highly inappropriate in modern usage.
Examples
That todger dodger waved at friends across the room.
