Why is our system hiding the word a**hole, but not the word a**holes? :nerdy:

Interesting word. To about half of us here, it is a terrible thing to call a homosexual. To the other half, it's a cigarette. English is cool.

I thought a "fa***t" was a bunch of sticks tied up together.

I thought a "fag end" is a cigarette in the UK.

fa***ts are savoury meat products, fa***ts can also be bundles of firewood. The word is also a slang term for homosexuals. Fags are younger boarding school boys (like my avatar Jute) who act as virtual unpaid servants for older boys, the word was also used as a slag term for cigarettes but isn't in such comon usage anymore because of its use as a derogatory term for homosexuals.

If it's 100 decibels, isn't it still severe?
