| In the context of public schools "fagging" referred to the practice
| of using younger boys as servants for senior boys. The practice
| differed widely between schools. In some schools, junior boys were
| assigned to a particular senior boy and did things like clean his
| shoes, make him cups of tea etc. In other schools, all the junior
| boys were expected to work for all the senior boys as a group.

Ah--the Plebe thing, huh?  Or peon...I know of what you speak, not through
personal experience, but just can't put my finger on the correct American
terminology.

There's always "hazing," but that often means more than servitude.

Cheers,
