prefix. Phag, or phago, is defined as eating. E.g., "phagocyte" - any cell that eats and destroys foreign material.
Context and spelling make the difference. It doesn't offend the TOS if I collect faggots to start my winter fire in the evenings. Nor if I stub out the butt end of a marijuana fag in a state where it's legal.
And since any entity prefixed with phag is only an eater, I guess it depends on what's being consumed.
There's one whose political views I have never respected. Off that topic, she's urbane and often hilarious. I respect her a a person, but Trumpicanism is something I can't respect.
