In the USA, calling someone a "bugger" has been considered the same as calling them a "faggot."

Lucky we live in Aus then huh TJ because here in Aus EVERYONE is a "bugger" and no one gives a bugger!

I stuck my head in the TV room at the Neoropsychiatric Institutue, where i was becasuse I was nuts...

Hahahahaha Julie, that's why we all get along so well then!

I stuck my head in the TV room at the Neoropsychiatric Institutue, where i was becasuse I was nuts,. and Bob was, because he'd learned to act schizophrenic to avoid going to Viet Nam, and I saw him, and i said "Are you from Hyde Park>" (university area of Chicago).  The rest is getting to be very old history.

I'm very shy, and I never flirt.

Best story yet! Julie, you crack me up so much.
...then you ask me about Mexico and tell me you'll kill me for needing somethin' I don't hardly never get.

Is BUGGER a lighthearted insult or is it serious? It sounds so cute.

I was affectionately addressed as 'bugger' recently by a Canadian friend--the first time the word had been invoked in regard to me, as far as I know. I was delighted, and not offended in the least.

Oh yes...it's reply#3 on the thread. Undoubtedly my boldest attempt at flirting, and one that paid off in the end!

Yes and you had to pretend to be nice and send me a PM to patronize me to do it, Ray!

The Brokeback Mountain Story is about Americans and the lingo used in it is related to how we talk here in the USA.

If a person called me a "bugger" in the USA and he did not personally know me or even know me well enough to tease me goodnaturedly and me accept it, it would be the same as calling me a queer, a fag, or a faggot.
