Mel Brooks did a great thing many years ago with Carl Reiner.He started talking about Ulysses S Grant and referred to him as a "fag".Carl Reiner,the straight man,says "wait,wait...I didn't know Grant had such tendencies.I didn't know he was a homosexual".So Brooks,in a shocked voice,says "no.no...not homosexual.He was a fag...a Federal Army General".
It's funny...probably on youtube.
