Right down to only ever hearing it from Monty Python

Basically I was pretty sure Americans would get "booger" from what random wrote, but not at all sure that non-Americans would...both from familiarity with the word "bugger" and from presumably less familiarity with the word "booger"


If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

When you misspell "booger" as "bugger" there is a huge level of confusion that can arise. - 14/12/2015 09:21:26 PM 763 Views
Yes, especially on a predominantly non-US site *NM* - 15/12/2015 02:59:54 PM 298 Views
