I'm a geologist and will save you some googling: it probably looks like a very large phallic obiect forcing itself into one phat rock formation.

Duckduckgo didn't make it funny, I had to actually Google.

Am geologist. No one I've ever worked with or been in a class with has cared. I didn't think I've ever heard anyone even snicker. Although we're in USA which spells it dike.

I have seen a Gen X straight white man have to correct someone's spelling and then stammer over explaining that spelling it 'dyke' has another meaning here but is the way it is spelled in Europe.
