F aggot is an archaic term for the "bassoon", if I recall correctly. Sometimes the Woland's sidekick in M&M is refered to as the Faggotman in this sense.Quote:

Close, but no cigar, I'm afraid. :)
Faggots are also a type of food.
I remember watching a TV show about them, and even for an English person( faggot = gay, is quite an American thing), I found it hilarious.
It's interesting when American slang infultrates English and competes with old English slang. "Fag" is a prime example.
Fag = cigarette in England. But we are also aware and may use the American meaning of a gayer.
A f aggot is also a bundle of sticks for starting fires. I know this because the common retort when we were younger and scolded for calling someone a "f aggot" was to say "but it's just a bundle of sticks!" Immature? Yes. But important for my future dicussion of the word on MR? Absolutely. :D
You win! :)Quote:

One trillion "apologies" -- and I'll promise not to sell it to Khodorkovsky? But if we do that, then you have to throw in a Russian bride, too. :lol:Quote:

Okay... Come closer... *blinks around*
My offer is the barter. Nuclear reactor for political asylum. Is it a go?
If you introduce a Russian Bride tax, then we'll refuse to support your WTO membership. Ha!Quote:
