Cool

In the British culture, it's a cigarette.  In 'Murican culture, it's a fudge-packer.

haha no that's not right.

If you say faggot that will be very insulting to gay people.  Fag means cigarette here.  Fag can be insulting to though, but it's considered an Americanism.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
