I’m British and even I didn’t get it because I know they’re not (we have GBNews instead). So I would just interpret it as “cigarette”

I interpreted it as either meaning tab or fag so I guess entirely depends on the region you’re from.

As a Canadian I look at that and think dart or a smoke.

I forgot Americans don’t call them fags.

American here, I honestly thought that fag was a synonym for asshole or jerk until I was like twenty. It’s hard to say how many of my peers also didn’t realize it was a slur. Obviously I don’t use the word anymore.
