ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Faggot (unit)

A faggot (unit) is like a small bundle of sticks that people used to burn to make a fire a long, long time ago. It's also a way to measure things, like how much coal or wood you need to make a fire. Just like when you count how many apples you have, you can count how many faggots you have. But nowadays, people don't really use this unit of measurement anymore.
