Default Linguistics

I thought a cig in Britain was a fa-, a word used in the U.S. to derogatorily describe gays. So a fugg could be the Baltimore pronunciation of the 7.62x39mm cartridge that, fired from AK 47, produces significant wounding (including remote wounding effects known as hydrostatic shock) in cases where the projectile tumbles and fragments in tissue, but which produces relatively minor wounds in cases where the projectile exits before beginning to yaw.
What the fugg is that all about?

Why would you ask someone if they had a fat ugly girl?

Goes with the accent found by many locals.
Example: dog = dug

I don't know about a 'fug,' but my favorite B-more slang is

"Ken Ah hol en eink pin?"

Any guesses on a translation?
