Faggot

Because they enjoy sucking dicks.
Is thisba trick question?

The word just rolls off my tongue

Everyone on /a/ is a faggot by default

Because we do so in an erudite, informed manner using proper capitalization and punctuation, thus retaining our intelligence while at the same time insulting the poster in a means that they can understand easily.


Faggot.

Thanks for this moment of philosophy.

It's the unwritten rule of /a/

because "individual who enjoys homo-erotic pleasure" is too long

If you're so smart then why don't you type your qurstion in the comment box, OP?

Also, you're a flaming faggot that butthurt from dropping the soap too many times.

Because that is the pet name for everyone who frequents this board, faggot.

I love you, faggots.

Eww don't be a faggot, fag.

newfriends and homosexuals intentionally misused "faggot" to give it a different meaning. not sure why the homos do it. maybe by blurring meanings and boundaries, they think people will accept them and their mental disorder which is laughable.

The word meaning "bundle of sticks" is ultimately derived, via Old French and Italian, from Latin fascis (also the origin of the word fascism).[7] The origins of the word as an offensive epithet for homosexuals are, however, rather obscure, although the word has been used in English since the late 16th century to mean "old or unpleasant woman," and the modern use may derive from this.[8] Female terms, it should be noted, are often used with reference to homosexual or effeminate men (cf. nancy, sissy, queen). The application of the term to old women is possibly a shortening of the term "faggot-gatherer", applied in the 19th century to people, especially older widows, who made a meagre living by gathering and selling firewood.[9] It may also derive from the sense of "something awkward to be carried" (compare the use of the word "baggage" as a pejorative term for old people in general).[7]

It is sometimes claimed that the modern slang meaning developed from the standard meaning of "faggot" as "bundle of sticks for burning," presumably with reference to burning at the stake.[7] This is, however, unlikely to be the case,[7] and there is no tradition of burning at the stake being used as a punishment for homosexuality in Britain,[10] although supposed witches and heretics were burnt to death in other parts of Europe, and were often accused of deviant sexual behaviour.[11]

The Yiddish word faygele, lit. "little bird", is also claimed by some as an explanation for the modern use of "faggot." The similarity between the two words makes it a reasonable possibility that it might at least have had a reinforcing effect.[10]

An obsolete reference to faggot from 17th century Britain refers to a "man hired into military service simply to fill out the ranks at muster."[7]

Wow, I learned something on /a/..

>>35348731
If we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?

>>35349164
>from Latin fascis (also the origin of the word fascism)
I find this hilarious

>>35349282
Because they were too stupid to evolve.
That's also why we have niggers,
who only partially evolved.

>>35349087
sage bombing!

The intentional misuse and eventual reclamation of the word "faggot" on 4chan and by extension the American imageboard culture came from the Something Awful era of the site when most of the users at the time were /b/tards. /b/ at the time was where smart people become racist, homophobic , dumb people for laughs, and that use of the word came as a result of that.

That word 'faggot' depending on the context can mean 'people', 'idiots', 'moron', 'stupid'. Believe it or not, many people who use the term on 4chan who are not homophobic and would not use the word at all in public. We may be all anime faggots on /a/ but that does not mean we are homophobic in real life.

(In laymen's terms it's a pejorative.)

>I find this hilarious

Fascis means bundle in Latin and it never referred to boy touchers/losers/ass pirates/future HIV patients like how faggot does in English so there's no irony in the etymology of "fascism" but if you weren't a faggot with a low reading comprehension, you could have figured that out on your own.

thanks op for reminding me im not so smart after all
