I particularly like "nature fag". It was definitely one of my favorite subjects in school.
Taking a wild guess
fag, is related to german Fach, which means “branch, subject (especially used for school/academic subject)”
Wait doesn’t the english “faggot” also mean sticks? Perhaps thats linked to the “branch/subject” “Fach/Fag” in german/norweigen.
It's interesting to see the consonants follow a pattern like this. In swedish it's fack, with a harder k-sound, and many words are like this comparing germanic words.
