At this point, calling someone a faggot displays an unwillingness to be controlled by the internet's many self-styled word police. Faggots, all. In a general sense, faggot hasn't meant gay person in a decade.

Actually, "faggot" has a very old meaning as a pile of wood. And "fag" has a long history in British literature as "cigarette."

In fact, I remember a joke circa 1970, in which "fagged" meant tired. The term "all fagged out" has been used to mean very tired.
