  • Sorry Jim, but the band is definitely British.

    And whilst "bugger" is used fairly widely as a "soft" swear word in Australia (I may be guilty of using the word from time to time), it has British origins.

    Thanks to "The Best of British - Slang" (http://www.effingpot.com/slang.shtml) the following definition is provided:

    Bugger - This is another fairly unique word with no real American equivalent. Like bloody it has many uses apart from the obvious dictionary one pertaining to rather unusual sexual habits. My father was always shouting "bugger" when he was working in the garage or garden. Usually when he hit his thumb or dropped a nail or lost something. Today we might use the sh** or the f*** words but bugger is still as common. The fuller version of this would be "bugger it". It can also be used to tell someone to get lost (bugger off), or to admit defeat (we're buggered) or if you were tired or exhausted you would be buggered. You can also call someone a bugger. When I won £10 on the lottery my mate called me a "lucky bugger".
