What is the definition for Diesel Dyke?

This is what I've read about them:

"Diesel Dyke

A lady (often quite large,) that prefers the (very) close company of other ladies, known as femmes. Regularly seen wearing a lumberjack shirt, boots and dungarees/bib & braces overalls.

Origin: Due to the normal extreme mass of these 'ladies,' it has often been assumed that locomotion could only be facilitated with the assistance of a powerful Diesel engine.

See also Clamjouster, Mingeeta, Plaid-clad Whale and Rugmuncher

The kind of lesbian women who is stronger and tougher then most men.
That diesel dyke knocked that guy out cold."

My take - she wanted to break up, and found that if she could ditz (sp?) you with something you didn't understand, you wouldn't argue. My opinion only of course.

Where I come from (small town) Diesel Dyke was a reference to every bad lesbian stereotype and was used as an insult by gay and straight alike. It was most often used to describe a small group of local dykes who were for the most part unemployed alcoholics who were very rough and generally unpleasant people.

When I identified as a Diesel Dyke it was cause I was dyke identified (at the time).. and a diesel mechanic.

A literal interpretation of the phrase...
