Unhappy Oops apologies to the seppo members
It's just been pointed out to me at a rugby site (the game they play in heaven btw) that "bugger" has a different meaning up north and could possibly be considered non PC (Political Correct apparently, yeap gave him a serve for that one).

So to explain usage and abusage downunder

Bugger = damn or some such as in

"Bruce l just put your ute in the river and the donk's rooted"

"Bugger me that's fair dinkum stoopid Simmo"


Thank you for your time, please continue posting the "have a good one" and "do you want fries with that" and for NNJ "whatever" replies.

Or a seppo???
We're not all antipodean crocodile hunters y'know!!

Bunch of australian slang terms up there, I know only seppo, that means american.
'Fair dinkum' should be something like 'for sure' and simmo must be a generic name for a seppo, like thommo (Simpson and Thompson, you know...)
Not sure tho

Thanks for the translation.

Rugby is the game of the Devil btw (sweaty men rolling around in the dirt feeling each other up - no thanks), in Heaven they play only Football (and possibly shove ha'penny).

Sorry Jethro me old mate but you're talking Australian Bollocks again!

And rugby is a bit rubbish, any neanderthal with half a brain and a build like a Jurrasic rhino can play it, football takes skill my friend, that is why it is the most popular game in the world.
