It's a pejorative...hence is often disparaging or offensive, particularly in US English where gays are often referred to as "fags". In British English the term is used to descibe a type of meat ball mostly or a bundle of sticks...given the context of your post I think I am safe in assuming you were not referring to the man in the pic as a cullinary speciality or a bundle of sticks? The word origin comes from the bundle of sticks and twigs used to light the fires - fires that were often used to burn homosexuals and other heretics in the middle ages... N. |
