Ya, I get it that this is the whole joke of the post, but I'm bemused to discover that I'm a slutt datafag.
I had not anticipated climbing to such a pinnacle in my lifetime.

I have never heard anyone call computer science "datafag", it's usually called "informatikk" (like "informatics" which you can also say in English), and "slutt" just means end or stop, I have never heard anyone use it to refer to graduating.

"Fag" does mean "subject" or "field of study", though, so computer science is a "fag", and it might be considered a "realfag" along with the natural sciences, I don't know.

On graduation, you get a fursuit

If you pronounce "fag" like a Dutch, a German would here "Fach" which translates to (school-)subject

[–] ChristerMLB@piefed.social 1 points 55 minutes ago

yep, or "field of study", so if you study in Norway, students who study the same might arrange a "fagfest" together, and a skilled worker is often known as a "fagarbeider"

Sounds like there's some etymological relation between the words (but a cursory search didn't immediately give me an answer, boo).

[–] Pissmidget@lemmy.world 18 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Bottom one is more stop/end computer class, does not imply graduation, though fag is generally used as tradecraft. Which makes the books you use for it fag literature.

Btw, where did faggot come from?

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 minutes ago

Fag in Norwegians has norse origins while faggot developed independently and only recently become a slur and come out of American vernacular.

In older English it was used to mean a burdensome person and it's sort of resumed that meaning as it's now often used to mean someone who is annoying.

Adding a fun double entendre when used to describe a homophobic person.

Faggot is apparently a bundle of sticks (formerly a burdensome baggage)

apparently kid

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 1 points 37 minutes ago

Also the totally appropriate name for the bassoon in some languages, because it looks like a pile of sticks.

[–] Hazel@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 hour ago

From fasces I think, same as fascism.

It's the biggest competitor to Sony's PlayStation

Realfag is the study of natural sciences and mathematics
