Uh mom

We were listening to Roald Dahl in the car on our way for a hike.  We are waiting for some friends to be ready.  Animal quietly asks, "Uh mom..... What's a faggot?" Shock.  Then a quick explanation to my friend of what we were just listening to in the car.  My friend, unfazed, says that it means cigarette.  Ah, yes.  It does - in Britain.  Then I have a little chat with animal about slang and appropriate language in our neck of the woods.  :)
