I was actually schooled under the British education system (before i started college here in Michigan) but for some reason i prefer speaking and writing English the American way.
And going back to the post i made about that faggot family….
faggot n. In the UK, a faggot is a meatball. In the US, a faggot is a male homosexual. In reality, the American definition is known (if not really used) UK-wide, so most of the jokes involving “faggots in brine” have already been made. I am told that in the US the word (spelled with only one ‘g’) also means a small bundle of twigs, so the phrase “toss another fagot on the fire” is not quite the incitement to violence that it might seem.
That site is almost as interesting as urbandictionary.com. I like dictionary sites.
