Gay Slang Collectn. The Italian word Focch is one of the most ed and known words Italy to sult homosexual men, and s equivalent the English language would be the word faggot. Focch as sultg slang for homosexual men has a ntroversial and uncerta orig sce there are several theori and no certaty.
The first wrten reference to the word Focch as gay slang appears 1863 and s orig is the regn of Tny, extendg to the rt of Italy after unifitn. There is a wily shared belief that the orig of this slang is the Middle Ag when Italy burned “homosexuals” the stake.
However, there is no reference or document, for now, to support this assertn, strange thg if you nsir that people hate homosexuals too much at that time as well as the public and exemplary character of those ath sentenc. If there are referenc to the e of juniper the stak whout any relatn wh homosexualy. Th this explanatn seems an ventn that would extend, an tertg manner, that exemplary character of medieval stak a homophobic and ntemporary Italy.
