Fag

terminology.
==Fag==
The word fag is used by Anonymous to represent the word person. However, some see it as a direct insult and homophobic regardless of it's origins.
The word fag is often used affectionately too, sentances such as:
: "us oldfags are taking a bunch of newfags to the next GroundOp"
: or
: "I can prove my old faggotry".
==<insert word>Fag==
Often words will be coupled with fag to give them a new meaning. Oldfag is someone who has been around in either the Anonymous movement or 4chan for a long time while Newfag is not. Moralfag is someone who takes issue with something someone has said, done or posted and is usually ridiculed for it, as 4chan is not the place to take your morals and you are opting to be exposed to that kind of material anyway.
==Debate from moralfags==
Due to the word originally being homophobic some people have tried to get Anonymous to stop using the word. This tends to just make the situation worse and is refered as either "cryfaggery" or "moralfagging".
However, some groups replaced the word "fag" with "friend". Most noticably 4chan's very own moot uses terms like:
: "...most oldfriends will remember..."
and so on...
