Wayne’s Word – Boggin

It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.

Today’s word is BOGGIN.

 Boggin is pure Northern Ireland slang and it holds no bars. It means dirty, stinking, disgusting, or anything that turns your stomach. From muddy trainers to a bin that’s been left too long, if it’s boggin, you’ll know about it.

It’s one of those wonderfully expressive words that saves time and adds character. No need for long descriptions, this one word says it all. And let’s be honest, we use it with a grimace, a laugh, and a strong Northern Irish accent for full effect!
