I see that (some say) "buggery" can mean "Something one says when
faced with something one does not like. Also see boredom and
crap." [Urban Dictionary] So perhaps the above can be explained as
"feed of arse" = (anal intercourse) buggery = (nonsense)
bullshit. (There must be a technical term for this kind of progression!)
