No idea Bud, I'm not that interested in the bloke tbh, he does seem to be rather a parasite though. I know he's got a voracious appetite for Moon Bat stuff, but why do you feel such an allegiance to him?

 

 

Such an Allegiance 🤔🤷‍♂️???

Christ where on earth did you get that from, You mentioned him in your post, although apparently you are not interested.

Why do you wish you'd known that a while back?

To engage in the usual homophobia in a variety of languages? 

It just translates to faggot or faggotry as far as I can tell. 

 

Maybe I'm missing why it's such a great insult.

 

Or maybe... I'm just not homophobic enough.

I'm genuinely interested, sometimes there's a good back story to insults or the wanting of them, none of my gay mates have thin skin.

The pope probably dislikes gays because statistically they're competition for the alter boys.

Well the faggot thing (I believe, though I am happy to be corrected if I've been fed a lie) came about from the practice in a less-enlightened time of burning homosexuals at the stake, atop, obviously, a big pile of burning faggots. The gleeful crowd would shout things like "Throw another faggot on the fire!" and other such comments, and the name stuck.

 

I wonder if the Italian is a translation of a bundle of sticks or the gay slur. But I don't wonder enough to Google it.

 

Edit

Do you know what, I just Googled it, and it turns out the burning thing is one of those urban legends. Fascinating, I wonder who started that.

Repeating an old line... didn't the bible say that the gays should be stoned. Not sure if that would stand up in court for drug driving "But God said I have to be"

I’ll show this to a couple of openly gay guys I work with who can take a joke and hate the word homophobic with a passion, it’s not even worth getting into a discussion with you or the other 3 on this one.

Nothing more than a bit of fun Mark, you work in Holland, Germany, Finland, Nigeria etc etc you learn bits and bobs of the language bud, often as not that includes swearing, if it’s good enough for the pope it’s good enough for me. Seems some of those who take an unhealthy interest in my posts have read a bit too much into it.
