Faggots ... yea or nay?

I should've stayed awake in English class.

Fags are cigarettes, faggots aren't sausages, they are like meatballs made from offal, and they are disgusting! Squeezy loves a good faggot though.

Come to America and say faggot.....see how many obese feminazi's swarm you with air horns saying you tried to rape them.

I could always see how things like chips/fries could mean different things across the pond but I could never grasp how fag/faggot could mean cigarette/meatball in the UK while it means homosexual/longer word for homosexual in the U.S. Something strange happened.

Bigotry is much more ingrained in your neck of the woods, I believe the derogatory meaning of the word faggot was coined by an American. Not all of you are like that and I have been lucky to have met normal Americans who aren't bigoted freaks, I have also met plenty of bigoted freaks, mostly in the Deep South. Proof that the word is harmless, it's the intent it's used with at hats vile.

Thankfully I would put most of snuson's American brethren in the normal(ish) category, as I won't tolerate homophobia.

I never understood it either, but this pretty much explains the etymology — originally a bundle of sticks:

Correct

Now as far as members here go.........neither bigot....nor......normal......would be my first descriptive choice

you can still buy bags of Faggots to stick on your fire or woodburning stove. Last time i checked they seemed to be highly compressed sort of wood balls
