are certain things Americans say (like "my bad") which make absolutely
no sense. My bad judgement? My bad luck? It could mean one of a

Yea, well, you smoke fags over there and that's pretty ridiculous to
our minds, too ;-

The smoking fags were around long before the perverted ones. It was
them what stole the word.

Very funny, Scotty... Now beam down my clothes!

You are complaining about his use of the words "my bad"? and here you are,
using a phrase that is all out of whack with grammar:

For comic effect ffs.

what stole the word.

If you do a check, you will find that the wacky tobaccy has been around
for
a lot longer than cultivated tobacco
Research has shown that it has been used since the stone ages Rudgley,
Richard : The Lost Civilizations of the Stone Age.

Exactly. But poofters haven't been called fags for long. And they
used to be illegal anyhow.


As far back as I can remember, the word fag was in use in English private
schools years ago
I can remember reading the word in the Boy's Own Books.

Sounds like you are advocating fags and poofs, got to remember not to turn
my back on you



chorus of the WWI song

Pack up your Troubles

Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile,
While you¹ve a lucifer to light your fag,
Smile, boys, that¹s the style.
What¹s the use of worrying?
It never was worth while, so
Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile.

That doesn't sound like poofters at all.
