By the way, isn't the word 'faggot' -although only spelt with a 'g,' also used to describe a bundle of the sticks in
areas of the US? If so, how will the algorithm know?!
I'm told that in certain areas a bundle of sticks gathered for firewood purposes is indeed called a "fagot". I just call them "firewood" so as to avoid confusing them with "fasces" (or effeminate men), but to each his own. "Offal", on the other hand, is not something we consider a food item over here... it's the parts of a deer we leave laying on the ground to make it light enough to carry home after a hard days hunting... i.e. the parts we won't put in our mouth for any reason.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
