all of it...
The song adopts the voice of a persona. A bitter and chippy delivery man. The persona uses the word 'faggot' specifically to offend because he's jealous.
But there's no sarcasm, the song is portraying a character, you fucking moron, I suggest it is you that needs to look that word up and learn what songwriting is.
I'll just put this here for you:

I was also making the point, obviously went over your little head, that social mores (look it up) change over time. I'm arguing that the offending lyrics are more offensive now than when they were contemporary. Hence the L P Hartley quote. Or did that go over your head too?

It was a conversation Knopfler overheard while in a store in NY.

You couldn't be more fucking wrong if you were balls-deep in a four-year-old. You should have your fucking head-dobber snapped in half and shoved in your eye-sockets, so that you can never inflict your complete fucking brain-wrongness on anyone again.
Actually, I have to agree - the default method to disagree with others has become personal invective. It's not exactly making the place a pleasant place to be.
You cunt.

My reply was directed at the response to your initial comment, not at your reply to that response, which I can clearly see was just a reaction to the completely over the top rant in the aforementioned post...M'lud.
