Bwwaaaahaaaaahaaaaa!!

My sister had the opposite experience when she took her family to England two years ago. They were standing at the Queen's Jubilee celebration festivities, when some guy walked up and asked if he could "bum a fag."

My niece, who was 13 at the time, proceeded to curse him out, "Get away from us, you pervert!"

My sister had to explain to her that the guy was asking for a cigarette, not soliciting sex with homosexual men. It's funny how the slang is turned completely around.
