Boogers, bogies, and the bogey man
I’m taking a moment to clarify since this is a confusing matter:
Boogers [boog-er] : a piece of dried mucus in or from the nose.
Bogies [boh-gee] : British. a piece of dried mucus in or from the nose.
Bogey man [boog-ee-man, boh-gee-, boo-] : An imaginary evil character of supernatural powers, who may or may not have boogers or bogies in his nose, especially a mythical hobgoblin supposed to carry off naughty children, who may or may not have boogers or bogies in their noses.
