I resemble that remark!!

Well... except for the fact that I'm slightly fatter since I last saw you (215 pounds now). I guess that's not so bad though since I am 6'4".

Faggots were originally bundles of sticks used for burning (also applied to cigarettes - miss 'em yet, Bio?) - that term was used extensively in England and showed up in various books (my fave was Kipling's "Stalky & Co." - a real hoot, IMHO).

It was in America (of course), where "Faggot" was applied to homosexuals.

More information can be found at: http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mfaggot.html and other places on the web.

Bio,

Yeah, but 215 is nothing compared to where I am at now ('course I was big back then, too.).

When I lived in England, I seem to recall visiting my local Tesco's store and purchasing 4 frozen faggots in gravy...

Yeah... pounds. Not stone, not kg.

But if we were to go down the whole european scale of things... I'd be just over 193 cm and around 97.5 kg (or 15.36 stone).

I never did understand the stone thing. Or the whole "Bob's your uncle" gig either.
