Faggot Voter
A faggot voter or faggot was a person who qualified to vote in an election with a restricted suffrage only by the exploitation of loopholes in the regulations. Typically, faggot voters satisfied a property qualification by holding the title to a subdivision of a large property with a single beneficial owner. Faggot voting was a common electoral abuse in the United Kingdom until the electoral reforms of the late 19th century. Etymology The word ''faggot'' originally meant a piece or bundle of gathered firewood. It was later applied to civilians added to a military muster roll purely to make up the numbers rather than to serve as soldiers. The extension from muster rolls to electoral rolls is attested from 1817. Practices In the unreformed House of Commons, and for decades after the Reform Act 1832, voting in a geographical constituency was restricted to those with an "interest" (i.e. property) in the constituency, generally in the form of real estate.

Ashen Faggot
The ashen faggot (also known as ashton fagot) is an old English Christmas tradition from Devon and Somerset, similar to that of the Yule log and related to the wassail tradition. A faggot is a large log or a bundle of ash sticks. It was bound with nine green lengths of ash bands or 'beams', preferably all from the same tree. At the appropriate moment during Christmas Eve, the faggot must be burnt in a hearth while people who are watching sing Dunster Carols. Historical significance Ash was probably chosen for this ritual because the ash tree has a long pedigree of magical associations: perhaps the most important is the Yggdrasil of Norse mythology, also known as the World Ash Tree. The Christian version of the use of ash was when Mary used wood to light a fire in order to wash infant Jesus. In Romanian culture, it was thought that Jesus was born in a field and that he was kept warm by the head of an ash. Christmas Eve ritual The wassail party passes around a bundle of ...

Faggot (food)
Faggots are meatballs made from minced off-cuts and offal (especially pork, and traditionally pig's heart, liver and fatty belly meat or bacon) mixed with herbs and sometimes bread crumbs. It is a traditional dish in the United Kingdom, especially South and Mid Wales and the English Midlands. Faggots originated as a traditional cheap food consumed by country people in Western England, particularly west Wiltshire and the West Midlands. Their popularity spread from there, especially to South Wales in the mid-nineteenth century, when many agricultural workers left the land to work in the rapidly expanding industry and mines of that area. Faggots are also known as "ducks" in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Lancashire, often as "savoury ducks". The first use of the term in print was in the ''Manchester Courier and Lancashire General Advertiser'' of Saturday 3 June 1843, a news report of a gluttonous man who ate twelve of them. Preparation and serving Commonly, a faggot consists ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mutant (album)
''Mutant'' is the second studio album by Venezuelan electronic music producer Arca, released on 20 November 2015 via Mute. Arca called it a chronicle of "sensuality and impulsiveness as escape routes out of rigidity". Labeled noise, trap, industrial, and experimental, it was promoted with four singles, critically acclaimed upon release, and ranked as Tiny Mix Tapes' favorite album of 2015. Composition ''The Independent'' described ''Mutant'' as an album of "intricately layered sound collages" in which Arca employs mostly machine-made textures "to convey extremes of emotion – be it euphoria, menace, paranoia, melancholy." Sam Richards of '' NME'' wrote that while Arca was clearly influenced by R&B, hip hop and dubstep, they distort and subvert these "familiar aural cues", "never allowing heirbeats to lock into conventional grooves." They commented that "Sever" and "Faggot" use elements of trap, while the calm interludes "Else" and "Extent" act as counterpoints to the re ...
