When Bugger Stopped Being A Swear Word..


Recommended Posts

The funniest thing about it was that it made the word ok to use...after it was allowed on TV, all sorts of newspaper adverts came out using "Bugger" and the political correct wing could not give it a hard time...they were told to bugger off :o
