faggot

[lordjord96]

have you ever used the word, or it just poped out?

[Lizz K]

Nope. I refuse to use any of those types; including retard/ed, gay, faggot, etc. And I chastise my friends who do.

[Dazed]

i never used it. ever. its so..ugh. all i remeber is that when i was little my dad called my cousin one..i later found out what it meant and was so mad at my dad.

[summersforecast]

Ugh that word make me sick, it's really offensive. My crush, Jake said that and I was really pissed off at him but he had no idea why.

[Trumpetplyer23]

I'll be honest and admit that it has slipped out a few times, and I've said as a joke to a few guy friends (like, he's straight and dating a close friend of mine).

But I've never actually used it to bash someone or anything like that.

[Brandford]

No, i don't believe i've ever used it, even when i was little and homophobic

[missmelancholy]

My best friend Christian and I are always calling each other names. He calls me c*nt and I call him faggot. Because we love each other. <3

[Greggers]

I only call myself a fag, anyone else says it and its betch-slap time all over them! Sometimes i call myself a fag when im acting really girly around friends, as a joke really, cause im fine with myself. But there is a difference between joke and really meaning it. Its a fine line, so you really need to make sure everyone knows 100% for sure its a joke if you do use it (like my friends)

What I wanna know is how the word became homosexually orientated? I always thought it was a meat product?

[kaster]

never in an offensive way, me and some friends were taking a little trip lately, and one of my gay friends says "Fag" and "queer" in discribing others as a complete contradictory-iroic type thing, just to us obviously, like if we're talking about someone we dont like he just goes "yeah...and they're just f**king queer" then he'll laugh.
. As long as its not derogitory or hurting anyone and everyone knows its meant in a "loving" way I think its fine.

[kaster]

also saying "fag" here means cigarette, got one of my friends in a bit of a muddle over in the states asking if she could, and I quote:
"bum a fag off of someone?"
There were a few shocked faces and she was like "What?!... OH I mean CIGARETTE!"

[Mickey]

Of course I've used the word,but only in jest! I would NEVER use it in a bad way.
People who are friends know this ,so all is good.

[littledinosaurs]

I don't use it in a mean sense (and if i did it wouldn't be to someone's face).

idk...maybe but it would of been a long time ago.
I hate the word, mostly because of how its used. Everytime I hear it, its usually something like "Don't be a fag" "What are you a faggot?" "Dude don't take it up the butt like a faggot"
So no, I really hate that word.

[RaRa]

I use it with my friends, but that's all.

But i do use it on people who aren't actually gay, go figure.

[starfish]

I've been known to say hey look a faggot while pointing at a bundle of sticks.

As to Liz Keller's point. I use retard and its forms all the time. However I use the correct meaning of the word, which is to delay or slow down.

[Wander]

I've only ever said it when it's in a sentence referring to the word itself (i.e. "I find the word 'faggot' offensive"). The only people who really annoy me when they use it are WBC members and white supremacists; the rest are usually braindead classmates who aren't smart enough to really know what they're saying anyway.

[mattypants]

i think i said it once. the end. i dislike the word

[davo-man]

No, I can honestly say that I have never used that word (outside if using it in reference to itself). I really strongly dislike that word, and as I so eloquently and drunkenly said to a somewhat homophobic friend, "When someone uses "gay" in a derogatory manner, it's a mild annoyance, but when they use the word "fag", I wanna bash their brains in"

In fact, because of that and me telling others that I really don't like it, they've completely stopped using it, or when they accidently say it, they will apologise to me.

I've got the same feelings for n***er. I was brought up in a family where we were taught colour blindness when meeting people, and that that word is completely disrespectful, hence I hate it when others use that word.

[Lexington]

I can't recall the last time I said it. It's one of those words that says more about the user than anything else, I think.
