Bugger

If something was offensive in the Middle Ages, is it still offensive now? “Bugger” is a word meaning Bulgarian sodomite. Back then, the religious sect called “Bulgarus” was stereotyped as having sex in an “inverse way.”

Today in Hungary, however, a related word is still used as a slur for gay men.
