Oh Bugger...

[magnavox_23]

So I listened to the podcast of Torri's con appearance in Germany (*) Great stuff. I loved her story about working on The English Patient (I should really watch that movie), and wow, the bugger story! That was gold. 'Bugger' is used as slang here too, I didn't know about the American meaning of the word - so American flisters, if I have used bugger before it has meant 'oh shit', 'oh damn' - something to that effect, hehe.

And Torri's going to be back on NCIS *SQUEE!!!!!!!!!*

Bugger me running... *snerk*

You don't find a lot of Americans using the term bugger. I thought it meant...well, kind of like how you meant it.

Bugger is quite prevalent here and in the UK, in fact I'd say it is probably deemed less of a 'bad word' than shit, probably on equal footing with damn, but then I've seen American shows where they say that crap and hell are swear words, whereas here they're not.

Of course bugger when pronounced with your Australian or cockney accent it sounds like bugga! :P
