 == Focus on etymology == 

 Why is it that articles such as Wanker state that the word ORIGINALLY meant 'one who wanks', but now is just a generic insult that usually ""conveys contempt, not commentary on sexual habits"", whilst Faggot states that the word IS a derogatory term for homosexuals? 

 In my experience (which is admittedly biased by not hanging out with biggots), 'faggot' is just a generic insult, which no more NECCESARILY means ""I think you're gay and that's bad"" than wanker NECCESARILY means ""I think you masturbate, and that's bad"" (actually, it also has a specific, non-homosexual meaning). 

 iow, why is the article 'wanker' about the use of 'wanker' as an insult, whereas the article 'faggot' is about it's use as a homophobic insult? 

 Barring any complaints, i'm going to re-write this article to focus on faggot as a generic insult, with etymology sections and a section specifically focusing on it's homophobic usage, and an 'other uses' section (no deletion, just addition and refactoring).   "
