[TR] Triumphs Digest, Vol 16, Issue 85

[DAVID MASSEY]

 I believe that Charles Dickens once used the term "faggots" when referring to burning embers in a fire.  So I believe the use of the term in the English sense predates the US connotation.

The ‘T’ handle as found on Daves newly acquired car. For the purists and those for whom nomenclature is vital, the common name for said item was a “Dibbins” in which the word dibbins is broad Coventry slang (of the repeatable type) and relates to any object that doesn’t have a specific name. As for the ashtray, “fag bin” will do nicely, recognising that the word Fag has a different meaning in US English. Sorry gents, I’m too old to change and can’t be bothered to anyway.
