Buggery is simply anal in terms of an illegal act, whereas sodomy is any sexual act other than normal missionary in wedlock i think.

They're spelt differently.
What's buggery? Isn't that the act of telling someone to bugger off? You're 'buggering'?

They're the same I should imagine. Both were once more general terms: covering, say, sex with animals (a lot of other languages still use this meaning for their equivalent of sodomy)

Sodomy isn't actually defined as a specific act in the Holy Libel

Sodomy is named after a city, buggery probably isn't.
