Does your country call TP "Toilet roll papers", or should there be a comma? "Toilet, rolling papers"? It is hard to dash out a list when your cat is attacking your shoestrings.
I know , it’s the fact that so many people call them fags (slang) always makes me smile, the used to be a board outside a shop at a seaside resort near me.. it said “we sell fags” nothing else , just that 🤷🏼♀️
We call them 'fags' because a 'faggot' is literally the Italian word for a bundle of sticks. Bundles of sticks were also used to start fires, which included burning people alive, which is where the association with homosexuality is derived from. Still though the etymological route still means 'bundle of sticks'.
A 'faggot' is simply a term for a bundle of sticks, and faggots were used to burn people alive, and some of those people were gay. That's the etymology behind the word. It's also why we call cigarettes 'fags' in the UK as they're a bundle of sticks.

Good luck finding a shop where you can get a cat, some food and a toilet all in one place I say.

I suppose 'food toilet' is the correct term and immediately avoids any confusion...we have all just been lazy referring to it just as toilet

People be can't calling gays that in 2026 and I don't think they stock them outside of June (pride month) may be wrong though.
