Din nou, Edmund e dezgustat si tranteste o "Bugger!" :) Si, tot rasfoind WikiWords, am inteles ca s-ar adapta ca " 'Tu-i! " O fi corect? :P

după ce am consultat Urban Dictionary și pe fiica mea de 18 ani, traducerea inofensivă ar fi -Păcat!-

rude words on Blackadder Yes, I know, 'Blackadder' is not a TV series populated with rude words, only with milder - often comical - equivalents. So, 'bugger' could be very well interpreted as... "f**k!' :) As for this policy, of not allowing rude words, I consider it highly hypocritical. In the U.S. is the same story... :)
Peter Shortall Jun 20, 2008:
I've looked at Wikiwords but I don't see the right meaning there. As an interjection it's simply an expression of frustration, milder than s**t or f**k (which were generally avoided on Blackadder, since in the 1980s you very rarely heard such words on TV)

Note from asker:
Ei bine, eu nu pot fi de acord cu emularea d-nei Irina Nistor aici. :) Deci, nu pot accepta un patetic "La naiba!" sau "Pacat!" in context de dezgust din partea unui personaj aflat intr-o situatie disperata: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bugger
