Fyi a removed is not a cigarette in Britain, that's simply a fag. "Can I bum a fag?" (can I have a cigarette for free?, usually asked to an acquaintance) is not an uncommon phrase.

A removed is a spiced and seasoned meatball consisting of meat, offal and breadcrumbs.

Edit: we have an auto censor I see. Very cool /s

can I bum a fag?

Only with consent. And if you're lucky, he'll return the favor.

removed is also a bundle of sticks.

True, though I've never heard it used in real life where I have many times with the other two.

What fuck is up with all the comments having removed in them. Are we censoring words now? What are we Reddit? Last time I checked we are adults and can handle harsh languages.

Yh, it's bullshit. I can't make a reference to a classic British meatball because someone might get offended.

Auto-censor has come to .world too? I thought that was only on .ml

Why use head meat to remove word when metal man can remove word?

I am aware of this, I'm reffering to the abbreviation of removed
