Both the slang term for cigarettes and doing menial chores likely come from the old word for picking up small twigs/sticks for firewood.
@rasmachris94

I did some research into this a while ago. It's because the slur was originally a term used on shipping vessels for frayed rope at one end, it was synonymous with useless. So it transitioned to smoking cigarettes because a cigarettes you burn one end, thereby making it useless - also the tobacco poking out the end looks like a frayed rope. This then transitioned to the modern slur. Why someone might be referred to as the slur from a higher education school where you're essentially a bus boy; Likely comes from the fact that you're inexperienced, dont know anything and are by default useless, ie only useful for manual labour.

It really is a shame, though I will say it's not exclusive to american english. I saw a video of a woman from somewhere in england that had a really thick accent and one of maybe a slightly older generation, and she had to make a video explaining that she wasnt faking it or trying to mock the accent as she was getting harassed online from people claiming to be from the area and were upset by it. But back to the american vs british difference, look up the history of the book "and then there were none". Really interesting how the title was changed to reflect a complete change in what people find offensive in britain because of america. In the states it was originally released with that title back in the 30s or so, but it was a british book, and the uk title was "Ten Little (N word, hard R)" because even though it was offensive in america, it was mundane in britain, and it stayed as that title until the 70s (80s?) Only to be changed to "Ten Little Indians" and then to the current title. This seems to coincide with the cultural mixing of britain and america throughout the century, and I imagine the growing up of a generation around such cultural mixing. Meanwhile, the short word for Pakistani has made no impact on american english because the UK is too small to make a dent in it it seems. They have bo issue saying *that*.

@@heythisanimalcantalk it’s common place to differentiate the later adaptations of languages, French was adopted in Canada and is referred to in a multitude of ways for example French Canadian or Quebec French, you don’t then turn around and call it France French, I guess if you’re desperate you could call it French of France but realistically no human has ever or will ever call it that because it’s futile😂. Similarly with countries that adopted Spanish, it can be referred to as Mexican Spanish as the adapted language and it would be odd to refer to Spanish spoken in Spain as Spain Spanish or Spanish Spanish or even European Spanish because that’s where the language as we know it originates, again like with ‘British English’ you could call it Castilian Spanish, but no one does, because it’s pointless. Same goes for English, it was adopted and adapted by different parts of the world and you use those places to differentiate from the original birthplace of the language as we know it. To clarify I’m not saying the likes of English, Spanish and French haven’t changed since spreading to other countries, every areas dialect evolves but that has little impact on the facts prior. I’m not saying you can’t say it, theres technically little wrong with it so do whatever makes you happy and secure about your own language I guess, I’m just saying it’s weird and a little futile. English people speak English, British English is English…. Americans speak English from america, American English, that doesn’t discredit your dialect, it just indicates where it was taken from. I personally found the phrasing funny so I pointed out that I found it bizarre. “I’m going to Madrid on holiday so I’m going to have to learn Spain Spanish.” Just a funny observation, wasn’t really looking to start a debate.

I remember when I had social media one of the last things I saw on that subject was people trying to get the removal of flooring from a historical building that had that symbol all over it but to them it was a symbol for good fortune. My point being in the real world there's so much context and just general common sense to these things that some people online just lack. I guarantee they'll still be people mad over this even with him explaining it to you. If someone is purposefully doing something to be malicious then obviously there's going to be well-deserved backlash but at the end of the day, most people aren't like that. You only see all that over social media because it's what gets the most clicks, the same with how the news only really ever talk about negative shit. If you're someone that's quick to judge and go after someone online for something you're completely uneducated about, please just put the phone down and take a break from social media for a bit, I promise you you'll see the world even just a bit more positively.

To be fair, as a Brit no one uses it in that context. 99% of Brits will think you're using a slur if you saying 'it's F*gging time' or assume you're a gay person being ironic. The most likely context to hear it and have no one be offended would be if you're asking for a smoke from someone although that has it's own funny implications in the US 'Can I bum a f*g' has a very different meaning across the pond. The reason this isn't common is; Most people from the UK arent going to the top schools, most people go to school locally regardless of how good/bad that school may be. Most people have never heard of this context in media. AFAIK this tradition isnt still practiced or if the terms have changed. So whilst it might be historically accurate, it's just not culturally relevant to the majority of people that lived here, never was popular and it's even less likely now.

I have no idea how you missed that term for cigs, northern England used it a lot

its "slang" is more commonly known these days... but it use to mean cigs back in the day... but smoking has been out of favor since the mid to late 80s? and slowly pushed out of media. you hardly see the cool folks smoke on screen anymore... its always the seedy ones.

We also lost the usage of the word monkey to refer to a person who does menial tasks, like a powder monkey on oldentime ships, now you have to be careful because racists ruined it.

@@Me-ui1zy Are you sure they were not just asking for a Cigarette? This doesn't seem like a word you'd see used often in public. I'm from Yorkshire and never seen it used for anything other than asking for a cigarette, or f*ggot which is a port dish.

That is very weird for me, Ive seen movies where brits use it and I never thought it would surprise Connor. Never even heard it? That is amazing :0 I guess the term would be used negatively during the 80-90s? Just like a simple rainbow would be symbolize a community although its just a rainbow at the end of the day.

No he’s heard people use it before, because he’s British lol, but NOT in the context of Victorian school errand boys. Because nobody talks about that He’s only heard it used for cigarettes, and the extended full word with “got” on the end to refer to a kind of pork meatball

I remember when I was a kid f*g was a ubiquitous term for cigarette, but by the time I got to college (highschool) it was out of favour for the obvious reason. Now people my age seem to say cig as replacement, but you'll still catch old blokes using the old term. Language evolves and changes though, it always has, always will.

@@DeltaEntropy DEI is an organisational framework. It definitely exists, and is widely adopted by media organisations. There's a wikipedia page about it. Claiming that DEI doesn't exist is like claiming that "agile" doesn't exist, or that "value chain analysis" doesn't exist. It is completely insane to deny it.
