What Is Big Dyke Energy?
Last summer, while we were all minding our business, a bunch of horny Twitter users coined the term “Big Dick Energy,” — defined by The Cut’s Allison Davis as “a quiet confidence and ease with oneself that comes from knowing you have an enormous penis and you know what to do with it.” Around the same time, a bunch of horny queer Twitter users coined “Big Dyke Energy,” which NYLON defines as “interchangeable” with Big Dick Energy. We here at Mad Dyke respectfully disagree. Bick Dick and Big Dyke Energies are miles apart — Pete Davidson wishes he had Big Dyke Energy.
Aside from NYLON, i-D is the only other outlet that attempts to define Big Dyke Energy, describing it as “confrontational and confident,” adding that “it’s not necessarily flat shoe and flannel but it is unashamed and it’s proud, no make-up gorgeousness.” This all checks out, except the “no make-up” part. While i-D goes on to list some incredible ladies to support their case, we feel Big Dyke Energy is a little bit more nuanced than that.
Big Dick Energy = looking good in a suit, Big Dyke Energy = looking good in a bolo tie. Make sense? No? Because all of this made up.
To officially clear the air, here are a few examples of Big Dyke Energy, as verified by science.
