LOL Reminds me of the commercials on TV that say don't say gay. Words take one different meaning over time. Like a lot of people use the term gay to refer to something lame and many other things.

Perhaps it is colloquial? We have inherited the word "faggot" to mean gay? Just because a word has meanings in the dictionary doesn't mean it cant inherit more meanings? right? its not like its written in stone yet....
Why are you telling us to educate ourselves on a commonplace fact. Yes everyone knows what faggot means.

definitions are always changing with society, not one word in existence means exactly the same thing to everyone else. The way you think about any word depends on how you perceive experiences in multiple situations in which the word was been expressed
okay guys let me set this straight the reason they called gays "faggots" is because when they used to burn "faggots" back in the day they used to just throw them in with the kindling because they werent deserving of being burnt on the stake like the witches. thats where the term "flaming faggot" comes from.
If you don't want to use the word faggot than don't. If you want want to use it when referring to a bundle of something than go right ahead. If I want to call the person who cut me of a faggot regardless of their sexual orientation than I so shall. Any word can have any meaning you want it to, depending on the context and tone you choose to present it in. It is after that point the other persons choice on how to interpret this meaning, whether to make the choice to be offended, learn, or whatever other reaction they may have.
I just remembered where I learned that info haha [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-55wC5dEnc]Louis CK Poker scene from episode 2 of LOUIE on FX every TUESDAY at 11pm - YouTube[/ame] skip to the 5 minute mark
I say faggot all the time. It's one of the few words left that still have bite to them. Someone piss you right the fuck off? "Fuck you, you fucking faggot. Go be a vapid cunt somewhere else." You are guaranteed either a fight, or a faggot walkin away.
