In response to Faggot, written by Captain Everett on February 05, 1998 at 19:37:18

To L and T index He also defines Fag:

] "To beat. Fag the bloss: beat the wench. Cant. A fag also means a boy of an inferior sort or class, who acts as a servant to one of a superior, who is said to fag him, he is my fag: whence, perhaps, fagged out, for jaded or tired. To stand a good fag: not to be soon tired."

Our Joan,too once explained that this definition comes from the Anglo-saxon verb meaning "to wear out with labour"
