That was different. That was the event that gave my co-workers the right to call me "lame" and I just had to sit there in my wheelchair and take it.

My leader was a stern Teutonic type. "You vill take der dresses out of der box, you vill remoof der plastiker wrap, you vill place dem on der korrect hangars, und you vill be certain dat dey vill haf der korrect size rinks. Verstehen?"
"Ja vohl!" I replied, and set to work.
Twenty minutes later, she came back to see how I was doing. There were no boxes of dresses, no pile of plastic wrap, and I was just sitting in a chair. "Vat haff you been doink?" she demanded.
"Well, I broke down the cardboard boxes, but don't know where to put them for recycling. I did find the plastic wrap bin, so that's gone. When I got done unpacking and hanging the dresses, I went through the rest of the rack and replaced incorrect hangers and size rings. Since I didn't know how to reach you, I just sat and waited for the past five minutes.
She took one of the dresses off the rack and examined it with a critical eye, "You did a good chob of poofing up deese dresses. You are a very gut 'poofer'!"
"Thanks for the compliment," I replied, "But please ... don't ever say that when my Main Street co-workers can hear!"
I must say you type with a great accent!
And I am glad that the term give to you was not by someone from Australia, but rather a dress inspector!

No.... It means something else if you are from Australia, not that there is anything WRONG with that....

If I understand it correctly, it's the Australian equivalent of "fag." It's not a nice word.

heck, that term was used to mean a cigarette when I was in high school, and for years after I was in the Navy. then it got that other meaning.

I thought faggot was a bundle of sticks and twigs...
That's what I get for being an only child who gets a dictionary for her 8th birthday...
Legend: Alligators dwell in the sewers beneath Disneyland.
Truth: There are no sewers below Disneyland, and therefore no alligators in them. The secret tunnels are infested with mutant rats, however.

It is, (also a small log) but the shortened version of "Fag" was used to denote a cigarette.

When I grew up I first learned the definition for Faggot as a gay person (tho at the time I was too young to really understand the term). Then I began to read older adventure stories and historical novels. It took a long time to get over the concept expressed when a "hero" would be camping with his friends in the wilderness and say "It's getting chilly. Throw another faggot on the fire."
