I grew up with bogie, too, but I prefer 'booger' now because it sounds like a tiny sentient creature.

My mother is Irish and doesn't say booger, she says bogie; when I was small and picked up this word at school (as an insult) she thought I was calling my brother a bugger instead of a snot, and I got quite a hiding.

In the plotline of WKRP in Cincinnati it was the word that got Dr. Johnny Fever fired from his previous gig.

Interesting fact: Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin and Hobbes claimed to the be the first cartoonist to use this word in a cartoon strip.

Not particularly naughty anymore, but in my youth a definite giggle word.
