But the meaning is on the complete opposite side of the spectrum and it's modern meaning ISN'T an insult against homosexuals. It's still used to describe what I've just presented above.Abengoshis said:People who realise that the modern meaning is a derogatory term for homosexuals?AndyFromMonday said:Anyone who uses the term "fag" or "******" as an insult. Now if I remember correctly, "faggots" is the name used to describe meatballs. ****** means a bundle of sticks, a culinary term for herbs and chores. Fag is used as a term for cigarettes. Can anybody please tell me when did ****** become a slang for sissies and homosexuals?
Every time anybody calls me a ****** online I always think to myself what sort of idiot would call me a bundle of sticks.
I'd just ignore it if they call you a ******. Its not a strong insult and it shouldn't insult you if you have nothing against homosexuals.
No, the "modern" version is different BECAUSE so many people use it for an insult. NOBODY I have ever heard or known has used it for the original meanings. It's "new" meaning is the insult. The same as "gay" now means homosexual instead of cheery.AndyFromMonday said:But the meaning is on the complete opposite side of the spectrum and it's modern meaning ISN'T an insult against homosexuals.

Excuse me, old bean, but it appears that I have thoroughly thrashed you.The Iron Ninja said:I think I'll save myself the time it would take to list them and go with "All terms in gaming."
I long for the day where it is mandatory for all players to speak like posh Victorian Englishmen/women.
