fagot
A fagot is a musical instrument belonging to the woodwind family, more commonly known as a bassoon. It is a large double-reed instrument with a distinctive tone, often used to play orchestral and chamber music. In French, "fagot" directly translates to "bassoon". However, please note that in a derogatory context, this term is used as a pejorative slang for homosexuals, particularly in American English. This usage is considered offensive.
