(from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faggot_(slang) )
Faggot or fag, in modern North American word which can be a highly pejorative term, for a gay or effeminate man. Its use has spread to varying extents elsewhere in the English-speaking world.

The terms are used less in this sense in British English, where "faggot" traditionally means a bundle of sticks and faggots are a kind of meatball. In British English and Australian English "fag" is common slang for a cigarette or for hard work. In some UK public schools, fagging was the name given to the practice where a younger boy (a "fag") acted as an unpaid servant for an older boy.



Stop crying now.


This is intellectual and has research done into it, therefore it can be posted here.


Your comments on this word?

 

Covered-up semantics is hardly intellectual. Anything that needs a dictionary definition to be here shouldn't be here it all.

 

Should the word be used amongst our tongues?

Do WE have a right to use our freedom of speech towards someone who is homosexual?

 

Because the first question is inherently retarded I'll answer the second.

Yes, people are constitutionally permitted their rights of free speech.

 

this is incredibly dumb i found thid by reading freedomfights posed in suggestions btw freeedom i had no idea wut sfa was

 

It depends on how you use it. If you have to use a dictionary to excuse your use of a word, because your intention isn't clear, maybe you should consider not to use it at all.

 

It's just a word defining that person. It can be used otherwise, but it CAN be used is the main point.

 

Yes we do have the right to use the word in any way we choose, we have the right of freedom of speech.

Just like they have the right to respond with other words they have the right to use.

 

There's not really anything to comment on. Originally, it wasn't a derogatory term for homosexuals. But now it is.
