# {{lb|en|US|vulgar|offensive}} An [[annoying]] person.
#: ''Why did you do that, you '''fag'''?''

=====Usage notes=====
In North America, {{m|en|fag}} is often considered highly offensive, although some gay people have tried to reclaim it. (Compare {{m|en|faggot}}.) The humorousness of derived terms ''[[fag hag]]'' and ''[[fag stag]]'' is sometimes considered to lessen their offensiveness.
