Todd Mason 21 Posted June 20, 2014 Online etymology seems to prefer the notion that the one-G version of the "f-word" (meaning essentially an unpleasant crone, and related to the notion of a bundle of sticks as a similar burden) was the primary source of the slur against gay men...though some do note the use of the three-letter form in the kind of tony "public" school as Eton in the UK.
