spell the word "booger" as "bugger"?
Booger: Booger is dried nasal mucus; the British form is bogey or snot.
Booger was said to be "dried mucus" in the 1892 Dialect Notes; boogie was said to mean the same thing in the 1891 Dictionary of American Regional English.
By the middle of the twentieth century, both booger and boogie were commonly being used to mean dried mucus. As late as the 1970s, both words seem to have been (relatively) acceptable. Since then, however, booger has apparently become more common. This may be due to its appearance in legitimate print media: Bill Watterson claims to be the first cartoonist to use the word booger in a syndicated comic strip, while Dave Barry has pioneered its use in newspaper columns, both in the 1980s.
The hardened mucus that forms in the eyes during sleep is sometimes referred to as "eye boogers".
