In the English Public School system (which is actually a private
school system, just to confuse outsiders), a "fag" was traditionally a
junior boy assigned to do menial tasks for seniors (polishing shoes,
pressing clothes, tidying up etc).. The idea was to teach the concept
of service, regardless of wealth or privelege.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Â </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Don't know if they still do it; probably falls foul of European
Human Rights laws or something. The modern American slang use of the
word "fag" has probably forced it out of currency now.</div>

Subject: Etymology<br><br>Paul, folks,<br><br>And outside American English there's the slang use if "fag" </span></font><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">in the sense of "cigarette". According to the </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">OED</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">, it comes from "fag-end", "fag" being something that hangs down loosely, from "to fag" 'to hang down loosely', now all obsolete, also of obscure origin. (Might it be of Celtic origin?) So "fag" for 'cigarette' originally referred to a cigarette butt.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Some see a connection between these and "to faik" (obsolete but possibly preserved in some Scots varieties) 'to falter', 'to fail', especially of a limb. And here appears to be a connection with Old Saxon </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">fakôn</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> and Middle Dutch </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">vaeken</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> 'to slumber'. Aha!</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Personally I believe that this is related to obsolete "to fag" in the sense of 'to droop', 'to decline', 'to fall off', which also can mean 'to do something tiring', 'to labor', also 'to cause to become fatigued'. The noun version "fag" apparently developed into "fag" in the British "public" school system.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The American slang word "fag" for a male homosexual comes from "faggot" which can be used in the same way. It comes from French (Norman?) </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">fagot</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> for a bundle of twigs (kindling) bound together (which came to be used in Roman and Mongolian politics to symbolize strength in unity), also once used for filling up ditches in military operations. Its reference to burning developed into "fag" referring to the practice of burning heretics and other "sinners" alive. Beginning with the late 16th century it came to derogatively mean 'woman', if you believe it or not. It was also used to denote a stand-in or dummy, a person hired to fill in in case of deficiency in a military company muster.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">How "fag(got)" arose out of all this in the sense of "homosexual man" isn't clear to me. There seem to be several possibility ("boy under another's command", "heretic worth burning", "dummy (= not a "real" man)", "woman(-like)" and other not so pretty things). It started off in "criminal slang" and was first recorded in 1914, apparently interchangeably with "sissy".</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Oh, and German </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Fagott</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> (with cognates in numerous languages) denotes a bassoon, from Italian </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">fagotto</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> 'bundle', thus related to "faggot'.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
