This guy is clearly older (lets say he started smoking at 15, we would be pushing 45 as a lower bound), and he's not American where that word was common slang. I think there's a place to consider intent and realize that this is the internet, and not everyone is an American 20-something.
- gerdesj 4y agoCheers me old fruit! I'm 52 and I have some American relos. I'm well aware of many en_GB: en_US: en_AU: en_NZ and other language/slang ... discontinuities. A daughter in law from FL once explained to me how to pronounce Maryland. I deliberately go in with the "fags" thing on a US based website for the obvious reason - it will almost certainly winkle out a daftie, who even now doesn't realise that a Brit burning a faggot isn't our version of horrific racism. To be fair, we haven't used the term faggot for a chunk of wood for some decades. I absolutely adore our differences and have collected them quite obsessively. I love to watch and hear english being used in all sorts of strange ways!
