On the other hand, our cousin - and older gentleman at the time and now deceased - was sitting across the table smoking. We asked him if he wanted to head out with us for a walk into town, and we fell on the floor laughing when he paused for a moment before getting up, saying "Let me blow me fag."

The old-world definition of the word "fag" is a bundle of sticks, and is used also to refer to cigarettes.

A "puff" is a male homosexual.

Actually, it's "poof", short for "poofter".

+1.

Also we used the term 'fag' to bum a cigarette, as in "can I have a fag".

In a sandblaster. This election makes the one with Old Hickory seem tame.

Jeez, I give up -- now Trump is the new Bill Cosby.

This really can't get any uglier, can it? Now the word the talking heads are using is "toxic".

What ever made this guy think he could run for president?

A shitload of gullible idiots and an enormous ego.
