Google comes up with "Buggin's turn" or "Buggins' turn", the least common is the ugly looking one used by Jacky Fisher and this article. Could it be changed to a commoner form? Tsinfandel 14:49, 11 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

If the name is "Buggins", singular, the possessive form is "Buggins's", isn't it? While "Buggins'" is the possessive form of the plural form of "Buggin", isn't it? —151.198.251.12 17:24, 22 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

The name is Buggins, so the correct usage for the possessive form is Buggins' Turn and this article title and content needs to be corrected. Words ending in s's are just wrong.--AlaninSoFlo (talk) 19:20, 4 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

But it is usually pronounced "Bugginses" (cf "keeping up with the Joneses") which presumably requires the spelling "Buggins's". 82.71.12.56 20:01, 20 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
