+Gitchee-Gummee Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 You may very well hear that a lot.... but it's not a geocaching term. Sounds like a localized California term... please, keep it that way. Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I've heard some describe a tough to find micro as an "evil little bugger". - Hate to come across an evil little booger. Quote Link to comment
+dprovan Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I just saw this as a hint in a cache in southern California, and I mentioned in my Found It log that I had no idea what it meant. The CO sent me a note to explain that it's one of those big green electrical boxes that are often found along the side of roads and in parking lots. I agree with Gitchee-Gummee: I hope it's a term that stays exclusive to southern California. Quote Link to comment
+Cachefoxxe Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Here in Philadelphia we have the Mutter Museum (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=mutter%20museum%20philadelphia&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CGQQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.collegeofphysicians.org%2F&ei=AGMpUJ2vJarM6QH63YDYCw&usg=AFQjCNEi9D_L_Cb_BHVpqg-8lnv_Sfnf-A), they sell a snotty nose toy. One of which I found in a cache here. As for the term....I have never heard it. Quote Link to comment
+Wadcutter Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The term "bugger" is a profanity term used by Brits many years ago. My grandfather, born in 1883, would use the term usually preceeded by "bloody". If he hit his thumb or other injury those were the first words out. Or if someone was a really bad person he would be so described by those words. Those 2 words combined were about the foulest language an Englishman could use. I'm sure if you do a web search you'll find the old meaning of the term. Quote Link to comment
+oxford comma Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I've seen it used around here- for caches - means the same as if you would say " look for a little nub" about 5 feet up. also could translate into very small ( nano) mass Quote Link to comment
+oxford comma Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 a booger, not a bugger Quote Link to comment

I'm sure if you do a web search you'll find the old meaning of the term. Not the worst that would be used in these parts. It's still used now and it's used more like "oh no" like "oh bugger it" "you bloody bugger" is used for many things( one being that you're trying to do something and it's not working out so great, you know like thread a needle but you can't)! In some schools (round my parts anywho) kids get away with saying it also the word sod. Which again can be used like bugger it but it's oh sod or oh sod it. They're minor swears round these part these days. On topic. Sorry not heard the term but someone else has above so that's okay Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I never heard the term used with regard to geocaching. I'd ask the person who used it what he meant. Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Did you every have one of those moments when you were in completely cynical and in disbelief of a poster? Quote Link to comment

Sorry not heard the term but someone else has above so that's okay You have got to remember the time frame when my grandfather used the phrase. He was born in 1883 and came to the US in 1904. Into the 1950s and even 60s that just wasn't proper language to use in mixed company. The term was a shortened word for buggery. If you don't know what buggery means then do a websearch. I'm sure some where on the web is the definition. It's still a term used in some legal statutes. In common language tho it was considered a vulgar term and calling someone a buggerer was sure to get you in a fight. Edited August 15, 2012 by Wadcutter Quote Link to comment
