    I think I know what it is. You can buy them in the supermarket. It’s slang for a gay man, rhymes with maggot.

      Ah yes, I understand why they remove it as I don’t think it’s often used in its other contexts. I do prefer to use it to describe a bundle of sticks

        And Norwegian. It’s hard to converse with countrymen on a platform running word filters for another language.

        Not just playing the instrument “removed”, but discussing school classes with friends and family as we would say “hvilke fag tar du i år?” to ask which classes you take this year. Luckily Lemmyworld isn’t that aggressive, but many online chat services and emails clients have started screaming at “fag”.

        Encountering such filters on a school computer that blocked my emails was particularly frustrating.

      Someone has a word that shares the f-slur for a benign food product? Holy shit that’s unfortunate.
