Aussie-isms - Page 5

Aaaaah! Doesn't that warm the cockles of your heart!

This is fun. I've always loved things Aussie and hope to visit someday. But Grace OZ is 'bugger me' really something people say? It must mean the same thing there as it does here........

If you come here and say it and people take it literally, you'll want to keep your back to the wall.:roll :chuckle

Actually, it doesn't quite mean the same thing.....not in the general context of "bugger me" or "oh bugger it", anyway.....and yes, we really do say it!!

Kavi "bugger Me" definately doesent refer to acts which some would label as indecent or illegal. MHN

Sandgroper - loved the poem - I'm sure that my husband wrote that one!!!!

RE: BUGGER
Yes we do use it in real life...
I use it all the time, one single word can mean so many things....
Try...bugger!
