A homophobic slur that comes from the English word for a cigarette (fag) because there was a time when homosexuals where rolled up in a carpet and burnt just like a cigarette. It is very offensive and has often been shouted at a homosexual before being beaten up or brutally murdered.
It’s a slur used against people of the lgbtq community DONT listen to people who say it just means sticks, google the history and NEVER SAY THE WORD IF YOU ARENT APART OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY, FAG IS JUST A SHORTENED VERSION OF THIS SLUR
