Being branded a 'rugger bugger'

I'm sorry - it probably has a different connotation in NZ and also anywhere outside London/SE England. It's just that at work I deal with a lot of contractors and tradesmen and whenever one of them mentioning 'popping it in the post' or 'popping it in an email' I just know they're going to have to be chased up later! It denotes a careless attitude and the types who the phrase (in my part of the world) tend to be the same types who say 'bantz' for banter. ...
Worked in and grew up in london ( hence the name)...might just be you ;)

Yes I did note the Wimbledon reference.
Maybe it is just me - we all have expressions/words/phrases that just irritate us for some reason. But I've mentioned it to a number of people and they've immediately agreed. It's a phrase that has made a comeback.
The main context here was 'bantz' - another really irritating word, like 'lolz'!!!
