I know in England a 'faggot' is a cigarette....You might often hear someone say, "Hi Mate....Will you give me a faggot?".....It's a very often said word but used a lot differently than other people on the other side of the pond use it as.
The word is used quite often in media and also in books, I remember Hemmingway using it quite often to define a homosexual man.
I know languages are always changing and what is deragatory one day will be socially and linguistically correct the next day.
Do you think the words "Faggot" or "Dyke" are still quite offensive words?
