      What? I'm totally lost.

      Fag means "bundle of sticks to burn"
      Cigarette is the feminine form of cigar

      Oh. OK so fag means that in the UK. since the US doesn't really have many words that masculine/feminine where is Cigar/Cigarette from?

      😅 English lesson 101 haha

        Means that everywhere, always has. Normal word, I remember learning it in elementary school as normal part of vocabulary.

        The sexual orientation slang only makes sense if you realize what the actual word means. It's not a different usage.

          Sure we do. Kitchenette, dinette, launderette, and names. "Ette" is a standard feminization of a word. I don't know the root of cigar, but cigarette literally means "little girly cigar."

          Same as cigarita would mean in Spanish.

              For some reason this is reminding me of bad lip-syncing...

                    Isn't that the recent MTA derailment that happened right by my house? That's my local NY train that I used to ride.

                      How do you think we keep most of the buttheads out? 😉

                        @nadnerB so how's the new law?

                        Well,

                        • there aren't any riots
                        • It's not front page news
                        • most people have no idea what it means
                        • The world is still spinning

                        The ISP's apparently aren't ready for it... lol, cupcakes. Probably just trying to save face.

                              I'll have to ask a buddy that lives there what he thinks.

                              Why is he not on here? 😛

                                I only speak to him on weekend generally being 12 hours time difference and I haven't spoken to him yet to see if he'd be interested.
