We had a car advertisement for years in Australia which repeatedly said “bugger” in it which literally means to fuck someone up the arse and no one complained, it’s just political point scoring.

My nan who never swore would say bugger frequently. And I was well into my twenties before I finally clued into what "hurts like buggery" actually means. It's obvious written in this context, but not obvious when your churchgoing relatives use it casually when you're growing up...
