The F Word

In the South Park episode entitled "The F Word" the show uses an ontology of postmodernism regarding the word "fag." This word is normally used as a derogatory term towards homosexuals, but the show applies postmodernism and instead makes fun of this by using the word in a different context and calling the overly-masculine biker a "fag."

This removes the negative connotation associating the word with homoesexuality and makes the word almost meaningless. Therefore, the definition of the word is practically removed, and it becomes nothing more than a word.
