[quote=Anonymous]Some people take the literal origins or insults or swear words too seriously. Brits commonly say 'silly old bugger', which is a very mild and even affectionate term, and 'sod off', which is somewhat akin to buzz off. Obviously the origin of both - buggers and sodomites - relates to people who practise anal intercourse but that is not at all how the terms are used these days. Similarly, wanker is akin to calling someone a prick. It doesn't literally mean a masturbator. [/quote]
