Mr. Witchtit--who was raised by two elderly Scots sometimes says it without irony--Gaffaws ensues.

Yeah, I've heard this expression before- 'I can't be fagged' is kind of a slightly quaint way of saying 'I'm shattered- I can't be bothered' or 'I can't be arsed', y'know?

LOL this just reminded me of AD where Rita's uncle falls into a tank of water and says "Ah me fags are wet" I've never laughed so hard.

I'm still trying to reconcile the term "fagged out" with that ribbed glass bottle. Code?

1.)I have heard the expression "all fagged out" before. I think it was in a novel set in Toronto during the depression, so I guess it's 1930's slang.

2.) Thanks, Orange Crush, but if I want to "feel fresh", I'll douche, like a real lady.

3.) Wait, can you douche with Orange Crush?

Well, the bottle looks like something someone could fag out with and have a damn good time.

...too much?

I don't smoke, but some of my friends have described what it feels like to smoke way too many cigarettes and then feel really weird and raspy and vaguely diseased-insectish.

Maybe a hit of pure carbohydrates in icy cold form makes you feel better after that? I don't know.

I'm guessing "fagged out" is meant to mean "burned out"? How did it go from a pile of sticks to that to a derogatory term for homosexuals?

@EkaterinaBallerina: It's clearly an ad from before the use of fag as a "derogatory term for homosexuals." Of course, whether or not it is derogatory depends on the speaker.

@EkaterinaBallerina: I think their two different roots - I thought it was only outdated English slang for tired (apparently US too?) and 'fagging' was the practise of young boys in posh schools being the servants of older ones. [en.wikipedia.org]

@BAngieB: That was my point. I remember that it originally meant a pile of sticks (or something of the ilk), then it presumably went to what this ad is depicting and then it became a derogatory term. Somewhere in there it also meant a cigarette too.

@colormeroutine: I thought it was more that the younger schoolboys often performed chores for the older, such as collecting firewood, etc? I think my interpretation of this may be vaguely informed by Tom Brown's Schooldays though, so pay me no heed.

@EkaterinaBallerina: according to the online etymology dictionary, we don't know, but theories are:

fag was used as a derogatory word for a contemptuous woman
Yiddish for homosexual is faygele, meaning little bird (that this may have reinforced its use, not created its use)
or the British school reference already made
