===Buggery===
{{Wiktionary|buggery}}
The word ''buggery'' today also serves as a general expletive (mild, moderate or severe depending on the context and company), and can be used to replace the word ''bugger'' as a simple expletive or as a [[simile]] in phrases which do not actually refer literally in any sense to buggery itself, but just use the word for its informal strength of impact, e.g., ''Run like buggery'', which is equivalent to ''Run like hell'' but would be regarded by most listeners as more obscene.
