ROTFL! That is too funny. Why on earth would you call it a fag? Anyone coming here, and making a statement like that, would have to be REALLY careful.

Just as a guess, I'd say 'fag' comes from the original meaning of 'faggot' being a small section of a log - just about the right size to throw on the fire..

But then again, what do Australian's know about english

That is classic.

But is Fag really that common of a name for it. I new Fag could be used for cigarettes but I didn't know anyone actually used it.
