Isn't the 3rd vowel also relevant? As in "Oh b*gger, if I eat any more pork pies I'll get even b*gger around the waist?" If we are not allowed to say "b*gger", how are we going to handle Tok Pidgin (the official pidgin of Papua New Guinea)? I understand that, "It's broken" translates as "Him fella all b*gger up".
No prizes for guessing wher this phrase entered the language from.
G'day
I'm sure there must be someone on this board who is fluent in Tok Pidgin
