To each their own but I would prefer not to be at the fag end.
Is that used to describe cigarettes in India, similar to how they call cigarettes fags in England?
That term has a different meaning in North America. Haha
We describe it for something that's very close to the end. I didn't know if this has some co-relation to cigarettes! And my God I really need to sharpen on my NA slangs and the way English is tweaked in USA. Fag end = Climax for us but it is not always uninteresting.

Haha
"Climax" also means something else, perhaps not unrelated to the fag end

I know 'Climax' because of adverts about condoms on English TV often mentioning it but that's not how a (Classical) literature student and a Cricket fan would describe it, though he would love to feel that way.

Haha. This is the best post of the day.

Lol, this is quite an anti-anti-climax!

Probably came from traditional English where the they use fag to describe cigarette. So the fags end would be the last bit of the cigarette. In North America we say the butt end for that referring to cigarette butts.

There have been many Butts in Pakistan Cricket team, so please pardon me I got a bit carried away. BUTt TBH, I knew not the variations on the word and I just wanted to tell you guys how that feels, when you keep on doing the same thing for a serious amount of time - Fags become butts and butts become cigarette ends, all of them are cool though.
It's already been almost a year for CricZap Pool.
