It's also a term for public school kids. My son wore shorts to church the other day and my wife had to shush me because I kept calling him a fag.

Not used any more (at least not in my living memory) but it used to be a verb, 'fagging', to describe senior kids getting junior kids to run menial errands for them, such as sitting on the school toilet seat to warm it up for them.

From wikipedia:

"The senior, sometimes called the fag-master, was the protector of his fags and responsible for their happiness and good conduct."

Note for Americans: no really, it is April 2nd.

That was some fun history reading that. They still used those terms in the 80's and 90's. But that was 30 years ago. I feel old.
