May I use my 'Spade' for digging or must I call it my 'bloody shovel'?
Either way my 'Dutch Hoe ' can get her own breakfast tomorrow!!
Best Wishes

I am sure that no one feels inferior. Accordingly, no name used can
offend in anyway. To assume I would be upset would also presume my
inferiority~~that I would resent [or represent] but not be annoyed.
Unless,
of course, there might be some pecuniary advantage!

because it might offend descendants of the Vandal people?

And "bugger" derives from the word from Bulgarian (it really does)

I was so sceptical that I cracked my OED. Bugger me, you are right.
