'''''Bugger''''' or '''''buggar''''' can at times be considered as a mild [[Profanity|swear]] word. In the United Kingdom the term has been used commonly to imply dissatisfaction, refer to someone or something whose behaviour is in some way inconvenient or perhaps as an expression of surprise. In the [[United States]], particularly in the [[Midwestern United States|Midwest]] and [[Southern United States|South]], it is an inoffensive slang term meaning "small animal".

The term is used in the vernacular of [[British English]], [[Australian English]], [[New Zealand English]], [[South African English]], [[Hawaiian Pidgin]], [[Indian English]], [[Pakistani English]], [[Canadian English]], [[Caribbean English]], [[Malaysian English]] and in [[Sri Lankan English]].
