I'm also called a fag by people at school when I'm not around. The intent behind it is an actual pejorative term towards homosexuals, not just "I think you're a douche." But, the thing is, I'm not even gay. Some guy I had never met started a rumor about that I was an in the closet gay freshman year because no one really knew anything about me, so he thought I would be an easy target. But, no one calls me fag to my face because I have made a habit of sending kids who anger me to the hospital.
