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"

When you misspell "booger" as "bugger" there is a huge level of confusion that can arise. - 14/12/2015 09:21:26 PM 575 Views
Yes, especially on a predominantly non-US site *NM* - 15/12/2015 02:59:54 PM 235 Views
