Someone look this up for me as I can't find my book?  It was in Chamber of 
Secrets during the flashback with the book, I believe it was mentioned that he 
had a slytherin crest on

And a faggot is a faggot.

But not a thousand, even a hundred years ago.

A faggot used to mean a bundle of sticks used for kindling, now it's a 
hurtful derogatory term for homosexuals.  And unfortunetly it is believe by some 
that the word is too tainted by it's current use to ever go back to being a 
harmless word.

My point: There are hundreds of words that have changed meaning.  And what 
about personal meanings?  I know a bigot (who, by the by, is in denial of the 
fact he is one) who doesn't consider homosexual sex to be real sex.  It's his 
personal definition.

I'm saying is that Salazar's criterion are most likely diffrent than current 
popular definitions.

And before anyone goes and blows their tops at me I'm not straight and I am a 
slash writer.  My point, and word useage, espically considering were 
disgussing bigotry, is valid.
