Bugger!

Got this definition from my British colleague (He pull it out of webster). Just dawned on me that Hugh Grant was really swearing vulgarity in 4 weddings and a funeral! ;-)

Bugger \Bug"ger\, n. [F. bougre, fr. LL. Bulgarus, a Bulgarian,
and also a heretic; because the inhabitants of Bulgaria were
infected with heresy. Those guilty of the crime of buggery
were called heretics, because in the eyes of their
adversaries there was nothing more heinous than heresy, and
it was therefore thought that the origin of such a vice could
only be owing to heretics.]
1. One guilty of buggery or unnatural vice; a sodomite.
[1913 Webster]

2. A wretch; -- sometimes used humorously or in playful
disparagement. [Low]
[1913 Webster]
