The word Bugger

[tgpo]

Here we call sex with animals, beastiality (SP?)

[pacmania_2001]

We con't view flash here at work, but I'm guessing it's about the origin of "cuss" words. For example: For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. Am I right, or am I way off???

If you read that thread BJ_M posted about the lawyer defending his client's use of the 'F' word I think it goes on to say that the word originally came from a poem in the 1500's.

Yeh, we also refer to it as beastiality amongst other things.

Now, anyone with some knowledge about Australia/New Zealand knows that we love nothing more to give them a ribbing about them "loving" their sheep.

When I was in Scotland a number of years ago, I noticed that some of the sheep had marks spray painted on them in various colors.
I got a lot of enjoyment out of asking my Scottish friends if they painted their favorites so that they could easily find them again.

yah m8, but you cant say "i just beatiality a sheep", but u can say "i just buggered a sheep" (hope that aint to literal!)

i think the word can also be used do descripe a guy forcing himself onto another guy, if not forcing then at least doing it all roughly!

i think its about as harsh as s**t, pi55 etc

[tgpo]

We just say, "That guy just raped a sheep", or "That guy blows sheeps, I have proof", or "He has sex with sheep."

I guess I am confused, I always thought bugger was a reference to anal activity. A synonym for sodomy...

I've never heard it used in that way.

Yes, to bugger is to have anal sex. Not that I would know anything about it.

I personally feel that bugger is a very light swear word, in the right company it could almost be a term of endearment

i use the word in sentences like
"oh bugger! where did i leave my tea?(old chap)"
"oh my, i've buggered up this DVD rip!"
"bugger off, you son of a silly person!"
and
"bugger, which of these unlabelled DVD-rs did i just put down?"

Don't say F*ck or Bugger

Cracked me up and made me laugh out loud. it's currently 3:15am!
The episode i saw the other day she said "Don't say ****! oh bugger!!"

[EddyH]

funny... my nan uses it a lot, and she doesnt use hardly any other cuss words. not even bloody ("bleeding" instead).. very odd, seeing as it's the same flavour of verb as F*ck, just in a different hole and more unisex
heck i picked it up at about 6 or 7 from her and it didnt pass mention, but using the other word in a fit of anger in front of her and mum caused all kinds of... hehe... 'palaver'. (another of hers.. i think it's indian in origin, like pajama and verandah).

the most interesting thing is how it gets used as a noun almost as if it doesnt mean anything (''he's a silly old bugger''... regarding my late grandfather ). the F word is only noun'ed when really ripping into someone (that stupid F.. has just a little more weight than that stupid F'er, which can be taken more jokingly).

Sounds like a conversation I had with my wife last night!

We in India, use this word to address an annoying fellow.

I guess I am confused, I always thought bugger was a reference to anal activity. A synonym for sodomy...

The above is also true. There was one novel I read where a girl called Amy was sodomised. The book later says that the people around gave her the degree of B.A. - Buggered Amy (sic!). The book was pure trash - a porn.

[Will Hay]

Buggered is indeed a reference to sodomy although where I come from it's not used in such a context!
My gran uses it, so I hope not

our friends across the pacific?

Isn't it the Atlantic?

[indolikaa]

Pacific, Atlantic...

[EddyH]

Ok, ok then, Swear Words

Though I'm pretty sure the word cuss was used at my primary school for something or other like that.

cross reference - "bugger" with "sod". Hmmm?!

Oops!

Yeah, that was truly foul!! Seconded only by avid trying to poke his shit down the loo with a coat hanger, and then his hands.....

[Dragonsf]

I've never heard a cop car called a bogie before. Typically in the movies you hear, "You got a bogie on your tail" or something like that. Here we call them Cops, pigs, po-pos, flatfoots. Stuff like that. Of course in the Blues Brothers they were 'Rollers'.

I always thought, they called them "MotoRolas"

Why not?
IC, you're not into S&M (the M side) :P

[Roderz]

I preffer the word BOLLOCKS as it's Not a 'cus' word (acording to law since 1977) and apparently was used in the bible!!!!

Shit, looks like I'll get another written warning again today for laughing too hard
