| Re: Buggers !
I found the Bugger name rather a tad off putting. Made me smirk every time I read it.
I'm English, and from stock that uses the term in all its connotations. From outright sordid buggery, "Oh, bugger me! and "Look at that bugger over there!" That type of stuff.
In the end I had to resort to brain washing myself into reading it as Bugs like Heinlein's Starship Troopers.
Where there any kiddies, who presumably would know the meaning of bugger, from Britain, Ireland, Australia or New Zealand etc.. in the book training with Ender?
I don't think there were, or at least I can't remember. I suppose they never volunteered; with enemies with silly names they never took the war seriously. |
