I actually find it kind of funny that the bloom on this flower actually resembles a diagram from my biolofgy class of a phagocyte [bacteria eating white blood cell]…hmm

I visit PHilly often and always stop to buy phun phancy items at PHAG. You can phrolic on and phondle their great phurniture and buy phavorite gifts for your phriends.
The gayborhood in PHilly is the safest, cleanest part of downtown. Big ups to PHAG, love their candles.

Yeah, guys, this is a play on words. It’s intentional. Not a fail. I live and work near there and they knew what they were doing. Also, it’s spelled with a PH because they’re in PHilly.

This is not actually a fail. The acronym is intentional. It’s a gay-owned business located in a gay-friendly part of Philly affectionately referred to as ‘the Gayborhood.’ No fail about it unless you’re homophobic.

From PHAG’s website:
What’s with the name?

Phonetically, a version of our name is
used in some parts of the world to
reference a cigarette, and in the minds
of many, it is a slang term referencing
homosexuals. Our use of the PHAG
acronym stems from a less-known
origin, the urban dictionary.

phag (noun). An individual who
proudly thrives to thwart oppression
and negative stereotypes.

Through our merchandising and
service to our community, we proudly
extend our positive interpretation of
this term beyond the confines
of our business, into the lives and
homes of our customers, from all
walks of life!
