AG
 n.— «The street word is AG, a term popular among women of color to describe females very much in touch with their masculinity. Historically, the words used to describe such women have been butch, passing woman, bull dagger, bull dyke, and stud. AG has joined this corner of the language of gender expression, as a positive word that these women use to communicate both empowerment and community.…Gunn, who friends described as an AG, was murdered after she went to the defense of her girlfriend who was being hassled by two black men cruising the city’s downtown streets in the early morning hours.» —“Girls Will Boys” by Jim Fouratt Gay City News (New York City) Aug. 18, 2005.
