“Then there was a nightmare of grim, gray men with shotguns, baying hounds, a heap of gasoline-soaked faggots and a screeching, fanatical mob.”

Third disrespectful reference of gay people by page 5. I’m out.

Berengaria Erm...a faggot is a bundle of dried sticks. Check dictionary definition below. Nothing to do with gay people. (not trying to change your mind to DNF, but I read that sentence differently)

From dictionary.com
Faggot 1:
1. a bundle of sticks or twigs, esp when bound together and used as fuel

2. a bundle of iron bars, esp a box formed by four pieces of wrought iron and filled with scrap to be forged into wrought iron

3. a ball of chopped meat, usually pork liver, bound with herbs and bread and eaten fried

4. a bundle of anything

Faggot 2:

1. slang, a male homosexual

Sportyrod I hate it when this happens. You know when you finally tell someone off for something eg being late or cancelling as they’ve done it too many times. And the one time you call them out on it is the only time they have a legit reason, so you’re the one who looks like the a-hole. That happened.

Ah, don't worry about it. It's a rare term nowadays. I only know it because I have seen it used in British hist fic novels when they are about to burn someone at the stake.
