Faggot (unit of measurement)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For other uses of the term, see faggot
A faggot is an archaic imperial unit applied to collections of sticks:
- 1 short faggot of sticks = 2 ft. girth × 32 in. long bundle of short wood sticks/billets
- 1 long faggot of sticks = 2 ft. girth × 4 ft. long bundle of long wood sticks/billets
- 1 faggot of iron = 2 ft. girth × 1 ft. long bundle of iron/steel rods/bars
The term is now just as likely to be applied to any bundle of sticks, regardless of its proportions.
