You don't know anyone who is gay, do you?


My wife's favorite music to play is show tunes
in pit bands, of _course_ I do!  I still have no
_etymological_ evidence for my claim.

Actually, you probably do -- but just don't realize it.

Once upon a time, a faggot was a bundle of kindling. I'm not sure how 
it turned into a cigarette, and from there into someone who sucks on 
cylindrical things.


I always thought the etymology of that slang term was that
the cigs and the pervs both derived directly from the bundle
of thin burny things on your back; one from its burny-ness,
and one from its on-your-back-ness.

I have no evidence to back this up.
