Gaby,
# 1 I'm as old as dirt so my slanguage sometimes throws people off a bit. # 2 Here in the USA, I'm not sure about elswhere, we are expected to use politically correct words and mannerisms. I usually refuse to go along. Here a fag is a fag. In my youth, when I was gay and carefree a fag (or faggot) was a bunch of kindling used to start a fire. I know a fag is a butt or a smoke (cigarette) but I never liked sharing them much, they were always too hot by the time your turn came around, LOL.
