But then I heard "I can't be buggered." Which, in it's context, I though meant "Can't be bothered."
Then someone posted "buggery" in the favorite cuss word thread and got me confused again.
I've also heard "I'm going to step out and smoke a fag." Is fag a slang word for cigarette or was he going to shoot a homosexual?
A better phrase is "Well bugger me!" which is said when in a state of surprise. It is *not* a request.

If they remove Don't Ask, Don't Tell, who will join the Navy?
I pronounce my T's. Only unruly children who haven't been taught correctly don't pronounce them. Even the lower class "chavs" pronounce them.
