Answer 2

Fags, a Public School (British) term, is also British slang for cigarettes.

The Americans, on the other hand, being victim to the Moral Majority, suborned the word to an improper use in describing homosexuals.

Yahoo, not being European, despite the many millions it earns from us, imposes American values on its site.

Answer 3

I'm assuming you're not homophobic and you're campaigning (well, maybe not that much) against political correctness?...in which case - too true! The world's gone mad. We can't say anything which might offend someone else - rubbish! What's happened to free speech (too American?)? Are we now living in a communist society? Dammit, if we want to say something, we shoukd be able to - if it's offensive, then we'll face the consequences ourselves in the real world, not be subject to some kind of oppressive laws...phew...

Answer 4

Well you know faggots are meatballs too: http://img44.exs.cx/img44/6598/faggots2.jpg

And fagging is a tradition that public schoolboys do. It usually involves making toast and crumpets and cleaning boots, but probably could have a more American meaning. It depends on the book you're reading ;-)

Answer 5

They're worried about lawsuits and political correctness, that's clear. AOL is no different. But on the "gay" thing dude? That word has been used to describe homosexuals since the 1880's, for real. It's not exactly as if it just came into use yesterday.

Answer 6

Sadly the 'politically correct' folk are destroying our culture by giving what many hetero's find distasteful or unnatural nice or innocent sounding names. And for the record, Faggots are meatballs in gravy; Gay means bright and colourful. I, for one, would like to see our language used as it was meant; but I think we are now too far down the road of change.

Answer 7

political correctness rules even yahoo. Does it occur to anyone that in Gullivers Travels the yahoos were, well, yahoos.

Answer 8

Ah smurk tabs, me like, tha knurrs.

Answer 9

LOL It's getting dafter and dafter innit?

Answer 10

queer gay ***= unusual happy bundle of firewood

Answer 11

Yep it's as USA thing
