The f-a-g word can also be attributed to the British colloquial term for a cancer-causing cigarette. The Americans of the world forever find amusement in the British term 'Can I bum a f-a-g?' meaning 'Can I have a cigarette?'. Ha.
You know what, now that i think about it, that *** that got pissed of that i asked for a *** was english.
*** can be gay guy or cigarette, and according to www.godhatesfags.com, anything easilly flammable. (Nope. Me neither)

Sounds extremely silly IMO. So f.ag is censored but gay isn't? Wow....~wickerman~
The word gay is now standard in its use to refer to homosexuals, in large part because it is the term that most gay people prefer in referring to themselves. Gay is distinguished from homosexual primarily by the emphasis it places on the cultural and social aspects of homosexuality as opposed to sexual practice. Like the other names of social groups derived from adjectives (for example, black), gay may be regarded as offensive when used as a noun to refer to particular individuals, as in "There were two gays on the panel."; here phrasing such as gay members should be used instead. But there is no objection to the use of the noun in the plural to refer collectively to gay men.
F.a.g means many things....
Act as a servant for older boys, in British public schools,
Offensive term for an openly homosexual man,
English word for a cigarette
or even
"The term f.a.g derives from the word "flag" (as in: "His strength was flagging."😉. "Flag" appeared in the 16th century and was apparently a variant of the Middle English word flacken. Flacken meant "to flutter", and was influenced by the Old French word flaquir. Flaquir meant "to be flaccid." "

Mr. Garrison: Well, they can't use "f*g." Because you can't say "f*g" unless you're a homosexual.
Randy: Really? So we can't say (beep)?
Mr. Garrison: No. See, you got beeped.
Man 7: You mean you have to be a (beep) to say (beep)?
Mr. Garrison: That's right.
Jimbo: Hell, that's not fair! I should be able to say f*g.
Randy: ...Hey, you didn't get beeped.
Jimbo: Uh oh.
Mr. Garrison: Well well well! Guess we learned something new about you, Jimbo, you freakin' f*g! You wanna make out or something?"
Mr. Garrison: And so, children, instead of saying "Hand in your papers," I may now say "Hand in your shit." Any questions?
Filmore: What about, "I have to take a shit"?
Mr. Garrison: NO! NO, Filmore! You can say "I have to poop and shit," or "Oh, shit, I have to poop," but NOT "I have to shit." Are we all clear?
Kindergartners: No.
Mr. Garrison: Look, it's all about context. Well, for example, recently, I have come out and admitted that I was a homosexual. I'm gay. That means that now I can say the word, "f*g." On television they usually don't allow "f*g." But because I'm gay, it's alright. And with the new approval of the word, "shit," that means that finally I am free to say,
Hey, there, shitty shitty f*g f*g,
Shitty shitty f*g f*g, how do you do?
Hey, there, shitty shitty f*g f*g,
Shitty shitty f*g f*g, how do you do?
~pleased~ Oh this is great!
Man 6: ~bumps into Garrison~ Oh, shit, 'scuse me. ~walks away~
Mr. Garrison: Hey, watch it, f*g.
Man 6: ~stops and backs up~ What did you call me?
Mr. Garrison: I called you a f*g. Because I'm gay, and that means I'm free to use the word "f*g." So piss off, you f*g-shitter! ~[/I]laughs and walks away[/I]~
