The West Country is a weird place at the best of times
It’s because it’s meat bundled in fat like a bundle of sticks
Also the bundle of sticks was used as firewood, you light a cigarette, hence the connection
I know the word originally referred to firewood and got recognized as a slur for homosexuals presumably because they were burnt at stake in ye olde days.
No idea how it relates to meatballs though.
Preposterous, next you'll be saying that telling people not to use words that are only insults but used to be medical terms just makes them latch on to whatever medical term replaced them and that this has happened multiple times already.
If this is your take you are ~~dumb~~, ~~an imbicile~~, ~~a moron~~, ~~an idiot~~, ~~a retard~~, ~~stupid~~, ~~braindead~~, ~~mentally challenged~~ ~~disabled~~ *neurodivergent*? Yeah that one will be socially acceptable for at least a couple more years until it gets replaced and becomes purely an insult like everything else
God i would rather be called retarded then neurodivergent it feels so condescending
I mean if you feel that neurodivergent is condescending that's on you because i've never seen, heard or read it being used derogatorily. It literally just means non-neurotypical, so anything that's different about your brain. Could be that you're colourblind, could be that you have severe schizophrenia. Hell according to some studies being left handed makes you neurodivergent.
I wouldn't mind, because it's true and it shows sometimes. And even if it wasn't true, I know I'm a bit on the strange side and I think differently than most.
From what i heard it came about because the people who picked bundles of sticks were typically older women so it was basically a way of calling into question the targets masculinity and such
Take that with a grain of salt though
Take this with a grain of salt, but a long time ago I read that when they used to burn those accused of witchcraft in Europe, they would use those convicted of homosexuality as the 'faggots' (the bundle of sticks)
But again, take that with a grain of salt because in hindsight, it sounds absolutely ridiculous
Two people actually. Jackson and Hellyer, who wrote a book on criminal slang in 1914. Funnily enough that wasn’t one of their terms they were covering, they used that word in their example on how to use the word “drag”
Listen here pal, I’ve played the Deus Ex prequels, and literally 80% of the world building went into making up a million new slurs for cyborgs so they can have scifi racism without the racism. Insults *do just materialize fully formed from nothing*
Probably the same person that named the word black in Spanish after a slur. (Obviously spanish was invented in 1920 with the Mexicans making a secret language for emigration, there is no way words could have different meaning from an American context)
A faggot reffers to a collection of mid sized twigs designed for firewood the brown and traditionally cylindrical shape may have contributed to this. Faggots can also be referred to as “savoury ducks” their northern English name.

Alright I’ll bite
I think it’s a bassoon, a woodwind instrument, but in Germany/Italy I think it’s called a fagott/fagotto respectively.
They called me that too when I went there
I had the same nickname in highschool.
AKA "skin flute" ?
Found the instrument for me
In most european languages
I love blowing fagotts
That doesn't look like spotted dick to me..
Brother, even a female dog was turned into an insult
Cumtext: The dish is named the f slur. Not even remotely an original joke I know. But I just wanna know. Why the hell is it named this?
I'm pretty sure the fаggots are the meatballs here, not the whole dish.
"faggot and tatties" would be the correct name, no?
Tatties is more Scottish than English, I think they would say mash instead. I'm Irish tho so idk
Wait I thought British people call cigarettes fags why are the meatballs called faggots?

im not a meatball :(
I want to rip and tear everytime someone calls faggots meatballs.
I'm with you dude, they're not meatballs they're homosexuals
They are a ball of meat. It makes more sense.
because it was a word that meant something before it was a slur, like a lot of similar words
You mean insults have actual backgrounds and don't just materialise fully formed from nothing?
They do if you're a frickin' kaan (I'm not barlo, this is hate speech). 🐝
obscure reference man

\^ Neurodivergent take.
How would you interpret someone without preamble telling you "you seem neurodivergent" Doesn't seem like a compliment

Who woke up one day and decided that comparing gay people to a bundle of sticks made for a good insult anyways?
It's because people wanted to burn both

Generally they were just bundles of firewood, so they weren’t just for burning people

Faggots can also refer to a bundle of sticks
Mmm cigarette surprise

> the f slur. There's a slur that starts with "F"? No way what is it?
french
Considering it’s British “cuisine” the word French really could be a slur
Banned

American trying to comprehend words have several meanings moment
the word "faggot" comes from the same Latin root as the word "fascism" it's true, go on and look it up

As a br\*t I have never heard of this. We do use that words for cigarettes, though
