Originaly it was a offensive way to call gay men , but nowadays mostly used as a synonym to words such as : idiots , retards , losers etc.
A faggot in the 20th century is a slur for gay people it's a word meaning bundle of sticks wich is why it's a slur people use it saying gay people are just firewood wich they should be honestly faggots go burn I don't like you
Person1 hey Joe kissed a man
Joe no I didn't
Person 2 what a faggot
A word that is used generically to insult someone and is NOT a gay slur; a pathetic loser of the lowest caliber.
Guy: Oh look, a bunch of annoying, awkward faggots... Hoo-ray.
Girl: You shouldn't say 'faggot,' it's offensive to gay people.
Guy: Who said anything about gay people? I didn't. Are you implying gay people are faggots, or that gay people would think it's word appropriation and be offended by calling someone who's NOT gay a faggot? That's awfully bigotted of you; I don't want to talk to you anymore or ever again.
you
“hey did you know you’re a faggot?”
“fuck you john”
