~edit: wow... if you're not british, that last sentance just sounds horrible (in case you don't know... in the US, fag is slang for homosexual). and 4 days without a cigarette! woohoo! [/quote] Lol, its so crude, but "smoking a fag". Has been quite the put down in the latest insults I heard (because of the puffing/sucking that goes with smoking a cig).
Would it be perfectly normal in the UK (besides brand names) to say "Gimme a pack of fags", "I'm dying for a fag", "I love a fag with my morning coffee", "I'm quiting, this is my last fag", "Yeah boss, we loaded that shipment of fags through the backdoor", "I can't believe the price of fags these days", "I'm trying to break my two packs of fags a day habit", "I enjoy a fag after sex", "Got an extra fag I can borrow?" "Fags can cause low birthweight and emphysema" or "4 days without a fag! woohoo!"
No offense Brits. Feel free to mention our bengays and YMCA's.
