minus-squareiltoroargentolinkfedilink89•7 days agoI particularly like “nature fag”. It was definitely one of my favorite subjects in school.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink28•7 days agoTaking a wild guess fag, is related to german Fach, which means “branch, subject (especially used for school/academic subject)” Wait doesn’t the english “removed” also mean sticks? Perhaps thats linked to the “branch/subject” “Fach/Fag” in german/norweigen.
