Miller used to be KAK on Abuzz. But Foofie is way too pedestrian, IMO. (Can you imagine Miller finding anything really hlarious in the word 'sammich'?)

**** off Miller . . .

I ought to have known that you'd show up to **** all over this thread. Employing a vicious racial stereotype is what you're all about.

What is this all about? I'm the only Miller on A2K.

I wonder if all of the posters catch on to the the implied meaning of being chopped liver?

I sure don't. What,in your opinion, is that meaning?

Most of the chopped liver I've ever seen looks more like "homogenized liver.

The best way to eat liverwurst is with a bunch a onion salt on it . . . you know, the kind with the chemical taste?

Good idea. That way you can clog up your arteries with fat, while you elevate your blood pressure with the salt.

@ossobuco,

I have had them before, but not for a long time. They're not that much different from what goes into sausages anyway. From what I remember they don't taste too bad.

@Lustig Andrei,

I doubt it too, though not very wholeheartedly. If true, what a complicated construct of isolation visited.

@izzythepush,

I'm curious? How many things are called faggot in the UK.
Bundles of wood, ciggies, liver balls... am I missing any?

@Ceili,

And which usage came first?

@Ceili,

Ciggies are called fags, not faggots.

Good . . . maybe some of us have a smidgen of significance.

Metric or Imperial smidgen?

@Ceili,

Faggots, both kinds wood and meaty balls go way back.

Fag, ciggie goes back at least as far as WW1. "While you've a Lucifer (match) to light your fag, smile boy that's the style." From Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag, a popular WW1 trench song.

Fag is also a word used in posh public schools. It refers to a younger boy who has to run errands for the prefects. I think it was done away with about 20 years ago.

I think 'fag' for cigaret is older than WW I useage, izzy. I seem to recall James Joyce using it in that sense in Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

@Lustig Andrei,

I've not researched. My daughter has just passed her university exams and we're celebrating. In my defence I did use the word least as a modifier.
