- Cliff: by "fag end", I'm pretty sure that Robin meant to conjure up not
any homophobic denigration, but simply the metaphor of a cigarette stub
after the usefulness of the actual 'fag' (do you call cigarettes fags in
Canada?) has run out, been smoked. This is a common enough simile. No
offence meant, I'm sure.
