Hah!
Note: In the UK, "fag" is slang for a cigarette. Cue much mirth (or shock) from American visitors at phrases like "I'm going outside for a fag", "can I get a fag off you?" etc...
Also, traditionally, a "fag" is a junior kid in a private school, used as a bag-carrier and general skivvy for the seniors.
(Although due to the increased seepage of American culture across the pond, you do hear it used in that
*other* sense a bit now)
"Queer" and "poof" (or "poofter") on the other hand, are much less ambiguous...
