How many faggots can you handle Zephyr? *snerk*

I always thought faggots were the slang for cigarettes, not meatballs.

Fags are cigarettes.

Faggots is an old English term for balls of meat.

pff, even I knew that. uncultured heathens. Although I had to teach some former guildies from the UK that walking into an American store and asking for "20 fags" is a bad thing.

that was second in potential pain only to the night same friend saw a cigarette vending machine in a NYC bar and exclaimed "oh look! a fag machine!"

Riddle me this...

How did the word faggot get to be a derogatory term for homosexual men?

The term faggot orginally meant a bundle of sticks.

"In the inquisition of Europe, when witches were
being burned, among those sought out for
burning were gay people. They were required to
gather the very "bundles of sticks" (the real
meaning of a faggot) with which they would be
burnt. When the faggots (sticks) were running
out, gay men were thrown on the fire to keep it
going for the witches. Faggot came to mean gay
man to force them into the closet for fear of
death. Scary, huh? Think about what you are
saying -- who you are offending when say this
word, even if in jest to a friend."
