It is the slur word for the
shittiest, always broken, ferry boat F.-A-Gauthier. In French, F.-A.-Gauthier sound like "faggotier". The ferry boat of the Société des Traversiers du
Québec. Just like slave ships, the faggotier
transports faggots across the St.-Lawrence River. It is always broken. People call it a Lemon.
