    Hadn't heard of the show before but someone posted this clip on Reddit, thought it was great. Whole thing's worth watching, the ****** explanation starts at around 5:20, but you should watch the whole thing for context.


    NSFW (bad language and offensive humour)

    Excellent post there Goodshape.
    Really liked the video, watched it from the beginning as it does give you more of an understanding of the banter between these guys.
    Yep did know the origins of the word ****** but the video explained it in a very non preachy, to the point, but allowing humour at the same time, kind of way.

    I thought it was something else. Roald Dahl went to an English public school and the older lads used to bully the younger guys and a 1st year would run errands for an older guy.

    And if the older student needed him he's shout for his fag. It's all over the book Boy "come here fag" "do this fag".

    I thought the name came from the English school system and this relationship between lads.

    Seems it's far older but possibly there was an element to it

    Did anybody else think the 'rough' guy on the gay guys right 'hath protested a little too much' by the end of it? I felt a lack of sincerity coming Louies slack jawed vacant questioning stares also to be honest.

    Yeah but it reminded me of a few people I know who would be the same given the circumstances, but would mean no harm (it's just banter among friends over a game of cards). And his final comment did a great job of breaking the tension. Can't be too precious.

    I've heard both the fag system and the bundle of sticks version. Always wondered what the background was to the bundle of sticks! Really interesting though, and as someone else said, not too precious. :)
