1. Slang for a homosexual (usually male), used usually in the
United States, shortened to fag, said as an insult in general
2. a bundle of sticks used for kindling in a fire.
3. "In the middle ages, when they used to burn people they thought were witches? They used to burn
homosexuals, too. And, they used to burn the witches at a stake, but they thought the homosexuals were too low and disgusting to be given a stake to be burnt on, so they used to just throw them in with the kindling, with the other faggots. So that’s how you get ‘
flaming faggot.’"
