I agree with the first. I always was told that "a bugger" was somebody who took anal sex. Also I heard, by watching some program on BBC 2 that it comes from a dutch word, which means anal sex. Peterwill 18:47, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't 'Bugger (alien)' be moved to its own article? --195.92.67.68 16:50, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] inoffensive in the US?
Why does this say that? It seems to me that its less common usage here actually means it retains more of the offensive meaning. -Jcbarr 01:42, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
- I've never perceived it as having any offensive meaning. It seems more a joke than anything else. Nik42 08:46, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
It's very inoffensive here. For instance, if you were to say, "This is a bugger of a problem", most people would assume you were talking about how a problem is like a literal bug. It's also worth noting that among nerds, "Bugger" is most closely associated with Ender's Game.
I have used it as in "This is a bugger of a problem" and "poor bugger". Then again the article does say that it is used more in Canada and also with a parent from New Zealand there is probably some influence. Though it is hardly considered offencive from my personal expeirience. kc4 - the Server Monkey Enforcer 00:23, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

- The expression bugger me sideways with a bargepole is jocularly meant to indicate surprise.
Not notable enough. Very low number of independent hits on Google search. TerraGreen 21:43, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

- Bugger me sideways gets more results: it doesn't matter what the apparatus is, really: it's quite popular in England.
