depends if you're the bugger-er or the bugger-ee
The word 'bugger' has many meanings in Australia but I surely didnt mean it in the sense you have mentioned. lol

For example:

When I say "What a lucky bugger" i am really saying you are a very lucky person and I am jealous.

If I was to put a small dent in my car I would say "Oh bugger", which would loosely translate to "Oh shit!!" lol

If I was to say, "That TippeX is a really nice old bugger" that would be.........well calling you old! lol (which i have no idea if you are or not )
But calling you a "nice....bugger" would not be a bad thing.

If I was to make a mistake fixing the small dent in my car I would say "shit I just 'buggered' that up!!"

If someone was annoying me I would say "bugger off!" Now that can also be taken 2 ways:
1. F...k off! (In a bad sense)
2. Go away! (more in a fun sense)

Hmmm, I am sure some other Aussies will come up with some more meanings for the word but then that would be totally 'Off Topic' for this thread now wouldnt it.

But honestly, I would never tell cdkiller to bugger off or use the word towards him in a bad sense, only in the humerous sense, and he knows that.

So on that note I might just bugger off.
