^ & ^^ i guess we're both right, depending on whether you want to say it comes from the french (fagot) or the italian (faggotto) root, both of which stem from the greek phakelos

Quote :

"Word Origin & History faggot (1) 1279, "bundle of twigs bound up," from O.Fr. fagot "bundle of sticks," from It. faggotto, dim. of V.L. *facus, from L. fascis "bundle of wood" (see fasces). Esp. used for burning heretics (a sense attested from 1555), so that phrase fire and faggot was used to mean "punishment of a heretic." Heretics who recanted were required to wear an embroidered figure of a faggot on their sleeve, as an emblem and reminder of what they deserved."

in any case, since they mean the same thing and fagot hasn't been used in common speech in over a century (while faggot has), i'll just pretend that mantisstunna is a giggling 14-yo boy who discovered that some slang terms come from actual words found in the dictionary

11/14/2009 2:21:38 PM
