Usage notes
Chiefly British English; dated or dialectal in modern usage. 'Fag' itself is British slang for a cigarette or, historically, a junior student who does tasks for seniors. As a verb meaning 'to tire,' it is old-fashioned and seldom used today. Note: 'fag' is also a highly offensive slur in American English, so this word should be used with extreme caution.
