Interesting it says it is a friendly alternative to fork off.

maybe they meant testicles.

The only way I could combine flour, syrup, and testicles is with a modified version of chicken and waffles. I am simultaneously laughing and gagging now. But to the original point, I don't think I could eat it!

Maple-glazed lentil & testicle loaf?

Bugger off would be a slightly milder fork off
Bugger can also be used as an expletive, like if you drop something
Or a somewhat affectionate insult- eg 'silly bugger"

Set up a vegan food truck at the next testicle food festival.

Also eminently combinable - buggery-bollocking-fuck!

Pretty sure Mock Testicles is how I'm going to make my millions. Or it's the name of my band. I haven't decided yet.

Mock testicle cupcakes!

I'll accept my royalties in kind.

Mockicles. They go down easy.

Of course the cupcake would have to be full of custard...

I love where this has gone.

Oh dear god. I'm having Van Wilder flashbacks. Make it stop.

But is it something one can say in front of their grandma? I'm trying to figure out just how much of a cuss word it is.

My granny used to call me bugger-chops regularly. My grandad called me a bampot. I'm not sure where this leaves us.

Something on the menu of a museum restaurant in our city was poetically called "amourettes" ("little loves"), and guess what the server explained they were? Testicles.

i was asked if i only ate salads tonight while buying vegan body care at Ulta...um no. i told her i am going home to nachos!

Poopiebitch.... your next challenge is to make cupcakes that have the frosting shaped into testicles. Soft, wrinkly and pink on the outside with wiry chocolate drizzle then white and gooey on the inside.

My hypothetical grandma would rather you didn't say 'bugger' but wouldn't be genuinely offended if it slipped out as an expletive. You probably wouldn't call her a silly bugger to her face though!

Of course Grandmas come in different varieties, some can swear a blue streak!

In the kids film 'Cars' the old car refers to her dead husband as a 'persistent little bugger'!

It just doesn't sound swear-y. Bug = annoy, so I thought for most of my life that bugger meant someone who was annoying. I think most Americans just don't realise that bugger refers to (homosexual) anal sex. I certainly didn't for a very long time. If I understand the context correctly, in older books/films (or period films) in which someone is called a bugger, it's the equivalent of calling someone queer (pejoratively). I think the word has definitely lost most of its sting now, though.

It's definitely not a way of calling someone gay, or particularly pejorative. If anything somewhat affectionate, if maybe exasperated or jealous. I think it falls broadly under the 'its funny if bottoms are involved' banner :)

I love that the Vegan Pet Peeves thread has now morphed into a thread about buggery.

It was only a matter of time!

My Mam sometimes affectionately calls me a barmpot. I always thought it had something to do with barmcakes (A kind of bread roll).

A friend just posted a picture of herself holding down and branding a baby cow. Coooool.
