I just read what the word bugger meant ! is that used in the usa or elsewhere?

Answer 1

It's a very common expression in Australia! Despite its origins, it's a lot less vulgar to tell someone to "bugger off" than it is to tell them to "f--- off"
*A hard job is a "bugger of a job".
*It's also used in a surprised sense, as in "well! I'll be buggered!"
*When you don't really care, you "don't give a bugger."
*If someone is acting the goat, they are "buggerising around".
*When you're tired you're "really buggered!"
*When something is broken it is "buggered".
*There's the "well, somebody had better do it , because I'll be buggered if I'm going to....!"
*And, of course, there's "the little bugger", which is applied to most kids at some time.
So, you can see, we in Oz would be really "buggered" if we didn't have BUGGER.
