How to say "fag" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- 厨ちゅうnoun, noun (suffix)Covers 'fag' as a derogatory insult, not the cigarette sense. Less common internet slang and an abbreviation, it is really a sneer at someone seen as a troll, nerd, freak or addict in online arguments.
- nounThis covers 'fag' in the cigarette sense, like 'cig' or 'smoke'. Colloquial and less common, it fits casual conversation, such as saying you are stepping out for a smoke.
Both are less common: use 「もく」 for 'fag' meaning a cigarette, while 厨 matches 'fag' only as a derogatory internet-slang insult for a person and has nothing to do with smoking.
