Hmmm... I always thought that that was a rather strong swear word in the UK, akin to the F word since when I first heard of it it was associated with perverted sex.
Just did a yahoo search and the first thing it brings up is
Bugger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Same results with Google.
So, it has a broader meaning. Still, I would find it surprising if it turned up in a FOLC FanFic.
