Lesbians! Lesbian is a word that’s come down to us from the Greek isle of Lesbos; there was a woman there, at one point, called Saphos – a poet, possibly – who fancied women (or at least, is said to have) and thus made sure she only let women come onto the island. These women were known as lesbians, ‘cos they lived on Lesbos. And shagged other women.

Pretty sure that’s it, anyway.
