I must be missing something here. https://carefulwords.com/fast https://carefulwords.com/fast gives back 349 results, starting with "Barmecidal feast, Encratism, Friday, Lenten diet, Lenten entertainment, Lenten fare, Pythagoreanism, Pythagorism, Rechabitism, Sabbath, Shakerism, Spartan fare, Stoicism, Sunday" and also containing "ecclesiastical calendar, extravagant, firm as Gibraltar, hell for leather, hell-bent, promiscuous" and many many others which, I believe, are nowhere near being synonimous with "fast".
- derbOac 4y ago"Promiscuous" is in fact a now dated implied synonym for "fast": "fast" in the sense of "quick or very open to engaging in sexual activity". You're right about many of the rest not being synonyms per se, although they are related words (related to "religious fasting" for example).
