Apparently it means something different (and I have been assured, vulgar) over in Great Britain.

Here in the US (or up here in Alaska anyways) it usually just means "small thing/person" or the like

Bum intercourse originally, but generally used nowadays as a mild or even affectionate insult, or to enhance a directive.

"**********" instead of "Go away"
"Bugger lugs" referring to a child (lugs are ears, fyi)

EDIT - Oh but "bugger" and "off" together is still restricted, lol.

Apparently my user name initials "P" and "D" put side by side is blocked too. I suppose that makes me a [REDACTED].

Niko while bugger is primarily used as a less offensive off-the-cuff remark (e.g. Oh bugger I forgot to ...), if you go by dictionary definition I suspect it should not be allowable in a forum in any form.
Unless of course we need to describe that specific form of intercourse.

This was the only common directed insult version I could think of still in use. Still considering whether to treat this the same as the solitary word. Consulting some of my friends from the Isles for their impressions.



Hmm if your going to allow the B word in any form now, I get buggery and S+0domy mixed up as one involves two men the other involve both genders, performing (hmm the A word for ****** is flitered, not the eight letter word ending in hole but the four letter one that sounds a bit like canal) sex.

You must allow the F word the one that rhymes with duck as both are a sexual act, and the B word was used in the same why as the F word in an example of someone hits their hand with a hammer and says F or B.

However you should allow the D word that ryhmes with ick as its a shortening of the name Richard, or ban the word Richard as a Richard the third is cockney rhyme for a (hmm seems T+urd is banned but not bugger how strange) or a crap, its not a dice game in the Uk it involves body waste ;)

Calling someone a Bugger is worse in many ways than calling them a F well you get the general idea.

So yes its rather hard to ban words and allow others, anyway good luck with your profanity filter, signing off now before I laugh so hard I crap myself


Ok I think my underwear is safe for a further Explaination of why the B word shouldn't be allowed, your basically allowing people to call others silly buggers on the forums and that's well silly ^_^
