I cannot imagine people saying: “Let me smoke a ***” with a straight face

Yes they do. Everywhere.

Over poofter is basically gay and poof is the offensive word. Sort of like f*g.

But they too use the words gay and queer.

[Alldeezy]

Yeah! I think some Australians do too, I remember my mum's first bf was like I need a f** in the states and he ended up getting hit on xD

Atrl has been calling gays "cigs" to bypass the censored word for quite a while now

We use a lot of different phrases for cigarette to be honest... Depends on region. Cig, ciggy, f**, bine, biff, rollie, roll up. But I do laugh whenever I hear someone use that particular phrase, it's just weird.

 

I prefer ciggy

I only heard rollie when refering to the ones you roll yourself.

Omg 

[Joesuxx]

Yeah it's derived  from an old term (i think from the sailing industry)  the *** end of the rope. Something to do with how the ends fray and look like tobacco.

I don’t think anyone has eaten it since World War 2 tbf

Tbf the *** didn't used to be commonly used as a homophobic slur in the UK. It's understood to be one now because of American culture being ported over here by media but people used to and probably still do use other terms more. Like literally just the word gay as a slur, or p**f or like "bum boy". I got called all that stuff a lot at school, never the ***. 

[TheBoss]

It's like the spaz word that apparently there is a huge word that got some pop stars cancelled in UK twitter, it's a kii ngl
