"Fella" as a social slur. The word derives from the Arabic word Fellah for "ploughman" or "tiller" whom dwells in mud huts and defecates in holes. Whilst not considered derogatory when used by higher echelons of Egyptian society the term quickly became a racial slur within the ranks of the British Army during the second World War especially in the El Alamein region of Egypt. The modern usage of Fella is today considered rude and offensive to soldiers. It infers that they are of a lesser social standing than that of their officers. Whilst this may be true, the ‘men’ prefer to not be reminded of it.
b.) It's also really gay as evidenced by the overuse by bluesox7
