    Faggot is apparently a bundle of sticks (formerly a burdensome baggage)

    apparently kid

      Also the totally appropriate name for the bassoon in some languages, because it looks like a pile of sticks.

        There’s a noodle called fagottini that I really want to try. I just can’t find it in the stores and I am not a noodle maker.

    Fag in Norwegians has norse origins while faggot developed independently and only recently become a slur and come out of American vernacular.

    In older English it was used to mean a burdensome person and it’s sort of resumed that meaning as it’s now often used to mean someone who is annoying.

    Adding a fun double entendre when used to describe a homophobic person.
