One of my friends said this. I have been pretty sure bugger is an adjective of the “passport”. But, I was surprised that some of my friends interpreted as an adjective of “India”. And some nationalistic pride was hurt. How do I convince them that there is no such issue?
The context was something like this:
To go to the UK, do you guys from USA need a visa?
Yes, I do. Bugger Indian passport.
Answer
As explained, Bugger is a verb. Your question will be valid with any sentence like bad indian passport
.
In this example, bad will not be adjective of ‘indian’ or ‘passport’ but for whole ‘indian passport’ as this whole term is a noun here, not individual words.
