faggot

a derogatory word used for gay people originating in the U.S, in 1914. the shortened term, "fag", was used to refer to cigarettes, so they lengthened it and used the word to describe rolling gay people up in carpets and setting the top on fire like a cigarette.

Guy 1: he's such a faggot.
Girl 1: dude you can't say that word unless you're gay!
Guy 1: why not? it's just a word.
Girl 1: that's what they called gay people after they rolled them up in a carpet and burned them alive. i don't even say that word and i'm lesbian.
Guy 1: oh shit that's fucked up
