“While talking with Grant, the fellow mentions that his brother’s friend “buggered” all the time while at school. That’s definitely homosexual.”


Nope. What he says is that his brother’s friend ‘buggered ABOUT” while in school.

British slang: “buggered about” = “Did nothing much. Lazed and wasted time”

Sorry Lily, but Brits don’t use the word ‘bugger’ in a homosexual sense (at least, not in everyday conversation) and haven’t for about a hundred years.

Thanks for clearing that up. When I watch it again, I listen more closely.
