Oh Bugger.

All this talking about the North of England got me thinking - 'oh bugger'.

As you all know, I pride myself in teaching only the most important business words and expressions. This word is no exception - 'bugger'.

Technically (and I guess you should all know this before you try to use the word), 'to bugger' means to commit an abnormal sexual act.

But don't worry about that. If you guys and girls want to commit abnormal sexual acts, it's your lives, whatever goes on between consenting adults or farm animals is your personal business. I'm not one to judge. As John Lennon put it, 'whatever gets you through the night'.


This is how to use the word:

You drop your cup of coffee - 'oh bugger.'

You discover your loved one in bed with a sheep - 'oh bugger'.

You arrive at work to discover Hitler is your new boss - 'oh bugger'.

You accidentally step on Chuck Norris' foot - 'OH BUGGGER!!!!!!'

May you all have beautiful, bugger-free weekends! ...unless, of course, you like to bugger on the weekends. In which case, may your buggerings be plentiful and enjoyable!
