I would just like to clear up something for the intrepid writers of definitions of the word "faggot."
The pejorative word, "faggot," is not French, Latin, or Old English for "bundle of sticks". This word originated in the early 20th century (the earliest printed reference is 1914). There are several hypotheses as to its origin, but it not likely derived from the identically spelled word which means a bundle of sticks.
Furthermore, gay people were not burned alive with bundles of sticks in the Dark Ages, the Salem Witch Trials, or Nazi Germany. That is an urban myth.

When you read the endless, doubtless well-intentioned posts asserting that "faggot" comes from burning gay people at the stake, remember that this is an urban myth. In fact, a lot of the things people repeat as fact are fabricated memes that have become part of the zeitgeist.

Feces Maggot
A pejorative for a person who did anal sex.
This is a term that should never be used on gay men because sex between men isn't usually anal, rather "no hole" frot is the main form of sex between gay men .
For most gay men sex is entirely non penetrative. These are called gay sides.
Bottom line: Faggot is an anal prejorative not a pejorative for gay men. Most don't put their penis in that hole.

A faggot is a kind of meatball, a traditional dish in the UK, especially the southwest of England, Wales, and the Black Country. It is made from meat off-cuts and offal, especially pork. A faggot is traditionally made from pig heart, liver and fatty belly meat or bacon minced together, with herbs added for flavouring and sometimes breadcrumbs.
