Faggot
Homophobic slur / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Faggot, often shortened to fag in American usage, is a term, usually considered a slur, used to refer to gay men.[1][2] In American youth culture around the turn of the 21st century, its meaning extended as a broader reaching insult more related to masculinity and group power structure.[3]
