During some rare research I've just found out that a 'bugger' (a word I use on a regular basis) is in fact a goblinesque faerie that dwells in the astral world & is very dangerous to humans.

Sacred pagan plant Misteltoe was considered so sacred that it had to be cut with a golden sickle.

One for the pigeons; one for the crow;
One to rot; and one to grow.

Followed by a draught of ale poured on the earth for the faeries.
