A faggot is an olde English word for a bundle of sticks, so when stick like cigarettes became popular the colloquialism "fag" was used for cigarettes.
A Faggot is also a traditional name for an English pork meatball.
The term faggot israrely if ever used as derogatory slang for a homosexual like in the US.
