What does BUGGER mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritish
An annoying, awkward or difficult person or thing, or a cheeky fellow spoken of with grudging fondness.
In British speech the word is used loosely, so a stubborn jar lid can be a bugger and so can a clever, mischievous child. It also works as a verb meaning to ruin or exhaust something, and as an exclamation of annoyance. Because it is coarse in origin, many speakers avoid it in polite company, although it is mild in much of everyday British talk.
