Bundles of sticks used to light a fire, gay men were described as flamboyant, so gay men are? Here is my folkloric understanding of the term, but I have no idea if the etymology confirms it. I would be curious to know the truth. I was told that the term began in reference to homosexuals in the English residential school tradition. Lower-class people were bullied by upper-class men, and those who took the worst were forced to do the chores and chores of their bullies. It is said that the sexual service was also forced. The boys who were forced to be essentially slaves to these upper-class men were colloquially called. So calling a man a meant that he was a weak and intimidating servant of a stronger man, and it served as a stupid indication of his manhood. I do not know if that is true or how it was used in residential schools. I am curious to hear someone who does. Traditionally, the bundle concept has included five fundamental rights that can be held in relation to a piece of land. [5] Sometimes called a small, a stick is a bundle of wooden sticks or clubs 3 feet (90 cm) long and 2 feet (60 cm) in circumference. [1] The measure was standardized in regulation until 1474. [1] A small short was also called a noddet.

[2] A brush (sometimes abbreviated to brush) was a similarly sized package made of undergrowth. [3] Rick: Well, the word «» really means a bunch of sticks used to light a fire. Well, in the Middle Ages, when they burned people they thought were witches? They also burned homosexuals. And they burned the witches at the stake, but they thought the homosexuals were too low and disgusting for a stake to burn, so they just threw them with the light, along with the other. That`s how you get «flaming.» Owning land is a much more complex undertaking than simply acquiring all the rights to it. It is useful to imagine a set of rights that can be separated and reassembled. A «bundle of sticks» – where each stick represents an individual right – is a common analogy for the bundle of rights. Each owner has a number of «sticks» that are directly related to the land. [4] A, in the sense of «beam», is an archaic English unit applied to the beams of certain objects. Alternative spellings in modern English are fagate, faget, fagett, faggott, fagot, fagatt, bassoon, ffagott and faggat. Community land trusts and land banks are examples of efforts to reorganize the rights package.

This is usually done by separating ownership and rights management responsibilities from the property. A typical community land trust strategy is to own the land and sell structural improvements (residential or other) to low-income home buyers. This allows people to buy a home at a price well below the market price and realize the benefits of improving the value of their property. I`m not really sure if this is true, but there`s a segment on the Louie show that discusses the etymology and historical/cultural associations with this term. The movement`s Italian name, fascismo, derives from fascio, bundle, political group, but also refers to the movement`s emblem, the fasces, a bundle of rods tied around a projecting axe head carried by a servant as a symbol of authority and power before an ancient Roman magistrate. Historically, the degrees of individual and collective control over real estate have varied widely. The differences between capitalism, despotism, socialism, feudalism, and traditional societies often set different standards for land ownership. The concept of a set of rights seems very different when considered by different types of society. For example, a laissez-faire government would grant a very different set of rights than a communist government. REITs divide all rights to allow commercial investment in real estate.

These legal structures are increasingly common in the developed world. Variations on the separation between public and private land use can be found worldwide. Although the concept of the set of rights is strongly rooted in the common law, there are comparable ideas in civil law and religious legal systems. National, sub-national and municipal laws greatly influence what title holders can do with their assets in terms of physical development. Quasi-governmental entities (such as utilities) may also create easements on private property. So if you`re buying real estate, make sure you know if you`re getting the whole bundle of sticks. And if you own property, be careful if the government or a private company with power over an important estate wants to take control of one of your rights. Don`t let them «stick» it to you.

«Squatting» can lead to «adverse property,» which at common law is the process by which ownership of another`s property is acquired without compensation by holding the property in a manner that conflicts with the rights of the true owner for a period of time. The circumstances of the opposing property determine the type of title acquired by the opposing owner, which may be a simple title, mineral rights or other interest in real property. The set of rights is often taught in the first year courses of the American law school to explain how a property can be «owned» by several parties at the same time. The term «bundle of rights» was probably used in the late 19th century and continued to gain traction thereafter. Before that, the idea of ownership involved more the owner`s dominion over one thing and prevented others from interfering with the owner`s property. However, the «set of rights» involves rules that determine, prohibit or authorize the actions of the owner. [3] I first heard about the «pack of sticks» when I was in law school. My real estate teacher talked about the bundle of sticks when he described the variety of rights a landlord has: rights to what is underground, rights to the ground, rights to the air. I didn`t appreciate the usefulness of the concept until I practiced as a dirty litigation lawyer – sorry, real estate lawyer – for several years. A long was also called a kidd,[5] kid, kide or kidde is the Middle English for firewood in packets. [6] Probably by «» as a contemptuous term for a woman, especially for older women, because a pack of sticks is something heavy that must be carried.

«Baggage» at one point also meant worthless woman. Many pejorative terms for gay men play on feminine traits, so it makes sense that something meaning «worthless woman» would be used this way. For example, the perfection of a mechanic`s privilege removes some, but not all, of the rights to the package held by the owner. The expiration of this privilege returns these rights or «sticks» to the package held by the owner. In the United States (and under the common law), the largest possible claim to real property is called the «absolute fee simple.» Even U.S. federal government land ownership is somewhat limited by state property law. Squatting is a non-economic way for people to transfer part of the set of rights. Depending on applicable laws, a squatter may acquire property rights by simply occupying undeveloped land for an extended period of time.

Areas with a high concentration of squatters are sometimes considered informal settlements. Squatters face great instability due to their lack of title and government efforts to «eradicate rot.» The set of rights is a metaphor for explaining the complexity of ownership. [1] Law professors in introductory real estate law courses often use this conceptualization to describe «full» ownership as a division of various claims from different interest groups. [2] If this etymology is true – Middle English, Old French, Old Provençal, perhaps Vulgar Latin *facus, Greek phakelos, bundle – then it is the same root as fascist. A long of sticks corresponds to a package more than 3 feet (90 cm) long. In a slang book used at Winchester College, fire dogs were fire baskets (andirons) that could hold long, and half-were smaller and irons that could only hold short and were later converted for use with coal. [4] Why is this important? The amount you pay for a parcel of land may vary depending on the existing rights – sticks – and the rights retained by the settlor/seller. For example, the grantor/seller could retain the right to extract minerals. You don`t have the whole bundle of sticks and your property could potentially be worth less as a result.
