Title: The origin of "faggot"
Post by: newman on July 09, 2007, 03:27:39 AM: I need some help from the Torah/Bible schollars. Wikipedia doesn't mention the Bible in it's explanation of the origins of this word. Isn't there something in the Bible about 'faggots pulled from the fire'?

The bassoon is a woodwind instrument in the double reed family that plays in the tenor range and below. It is also called Fagott in German, fagotto in Italian, and basson in French.

In many countries woodwinds are associated with oral sex.

The thing I never understood is why so many gay men speak with a lisp? Is there a nerve that men have that's connected to speech, that gets aggravated during gay sex and causes their tongues to malfunction?

Hey, I watch it!! I said many cultures have it. I did not say woodwinds and homosex is identical, but they make fun about it.

Oh well, I guess it'll be anytime now before I transform into an effeminate, finger-snapping, flamboyant, "song and dance" man.

Post by: Alexander on July 11, 2007, 04:14:23 AM: faggot
1279, "bundle of twigs bound up," from O.Fr. fagot "bundle of sticks," from It. faggotto, dim. of V.L. *facus, from L. fascis "bundle of wood" (see fasces). Esp. used for burning heretics (a sense attested from 1555), so that phrase fire and faggot was used to mean "punishment of a heretic." Heretics who recanted were required to wear an embroidered figure of a faggot on their sleeve, as an emblem and reminder of what they deserved.
