I wonder if bugger lugs and bugger grips [side-burns] derive from the same source. Presumably providing something to hold on to while, well, you know....

There is a difference however between calling someone a bugger, and calling someone a buggerer ...

There is a difference however between calling someone a bugger, and calling someone a buggerer ... There is indeed. In a previous existence I had professional reasons for dealing with a sex offender by the surname of Hall. He was, not surprisingly, referred to as "Bugger 'All", but not officially.Other offenders whose names matched their sins were a flasher called John Thomas Waters (particularly in cold weather presumably), and a pub landlord who watered his beer who rejoiced in the name of Kilgallon.
