“Bugger” is one of the Aussie language's most versatile Swiss-army-knife words. It can mean annoyance, sympathy, exhaustion, brokenness, or even a cheeky instruction to leave someone alone. Aussies love words that do multiple jobs, and bugger wears many hats brilliantly. Spill avo on yourself? Bugger. See someone else covered in avo? Poor bugger. Break your bathers after diving into a pool? They’re buggered. Deal with an annoying chore? What a bugger. It’s mild enough for general use but expressive enough to convey deep emotional disappointment—Aussie style.

Bugger! I’ve ruined me bathers again.
