3. Bundle of dried sticks, used to start a fire. |
|
Example:" Throw the faggots on the fire." Offensive. Very offensive.

9. Now how weird is that? |

ms. gutter-mouth uses a word intended to insult which is a "contemptuous term for 'woman'" and the response to it is more "contemptuous terms for women"?! ho, slut, skank, the c-word (oh, my), whore, mann (cuz gender identity IS fair game), bitch
*sigh*

"Faggot" The primary traditional meaning of the word is indeed 'a bundle of sticks for burning' . Another meaning, especially common in Wales and the Black Country, is a kind of pork meatball covered in gravy. See Faggot (food).

12. Faggots are considered a bunch of sticks tied together... |
|
Faggotto is a Bassoon(bunch of sticks connected).
Fag is a drudge; a menial.
See the OED for more descriptive terms.

14. How can you justify this??? |
|
This is against DU rules.
I know what the OP is doing.
"N*gger" can mean: "Used as a disparaging term for a member of any socially, economically, or politically deprived group of people." NOT just for a black person, but I would NEVER, EVER post an OP saying that, and neither would it stand. As it shouldn't.THis is no different.
Think about the gay men on here who have been called that and beaten up. THINK ABOUT HOW THEY FEEL.
SICKENING AND SHAMEFUL.

15. I wonder if that is derived from the 'firewood, bundle of sticks' |
|
definition, since so many 'old, dried-up unpleasant women' were burned as witches bout that time.

To me, this a more opaque version of the "Why did you queers have to change the meaning of the word 'gay' so it means homosexual instead of happy" nonsense.

26. So, in high school, when I was the recipient of that particular word... |
|
as I was dealing with my same-sex feelings, and had NO ONE to talk to, when I was feeling lonely and depressed and confused, when guys would hurl the "f" word towards me...they were referring to the definition from the 16th century?
Ah, I see. That makes everything different then. :eyes:

23. What's the point of this? To simply get to use the word "faggot" while making sexist |
|
remarks at the same time? All while projecting upon both women and gays the repulsive spectre of the most hateful, vile woman in the country.
:puke: on this thread

You've done an excellent job of minimizing how much hate is directed toward the GLBTQI community with a word. Congratulations.
