I’m not sure of the origin of the word bugger, but would agree with the previous response and would like to elaborate that the definition of the word depends on the context it is used in. In a formal environment, such as you mention(in a colonial trial ), the word does imply anal penetration, but on an everyday level ‘bugger’ is a very mild curse not particularly tied to its original definition. A person might spill some tea and acceptably say ‘bugger me’ without meaning anal sex and only using language as offensive as ‘bloody hell’. As for your query on the other curse; it is perhaps the most disrespectful word, but my personal feeling is that media in the UK are more unrestrained than in the US and hence a slightly more relaxed view of the word and its power.
