and also a heretic; because the inhabitants of Bulgaria were

were called heretics, because in the eyes of their
adversaries there was nothing more heinous than heresy, and
it was therefore thought that the origin of such a vice could
only be owing to heretics.]

bugger:
When your wife grows old
And your balls grow cold
And the end of your tool turns blue;
When she asks for a little
And it bends in the middle,
I think that's a bugger...
