Probably some ancient context having to do with smoking sticks of meat before chopping them into medallions.

faggot (n.1) Look up faggot at Dictionary.com
late 13c., "bundle of twigs bound up," also fagald, faggald, from Old French fagot "bundle of sticks" (13c.), of uncertain origin, probably from Italian faggotto "bundle of sticks," diminutive of Vulgar Latin *facus, from Latin fascis "bundle of wood" (see fasces).
Especially used for burning heretics (emblematic of this from 1550s), so that phrase fire and faggot was used to indicate "punishment of a heretic." Heretics who recanted were required to wear an embroidered figure of a faggot on the sleeve as an emblem and reminder of what they deserved.

@scottalanmiller No he didn't sign on this past weekend.
He's got a new born girl to deal with so it's not surprising.
