Where did the word buger come from?

Answer 1

The etymology of the word booger baffles scholars. Since it has always been considered semi-vulgar or at least childish, it has been used in few written sources. Furthermore, in the past the word booger has been used to mean many things, and has often overlapped with the terms boogie, bogey, and bugger. The earliest usage of the word is as an alternate spelling of the vulgarism bugger. Booger was first said to be slang for "dried mucus" in the 1892 Dialect Notes; boogie was said to mean the same thing in the 1891 Dictionary of American Regional English. Its appearance in slang dictionaries indicates that it had probably been used for some time in the United States before the 1890s. Both books said that mainly "school children" used the words.

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 in American English. 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. Rapper Biz Markie recorded a humorous song "Pickin' Boogers" [1] which appeared on his album Goin Off. In the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati, Dr. Johnny Fever was fired from another radio station for saying "booger" on the air (under the premise that it was an objectionable word).


OR if you mispelled the word BURGER

A burger or "burger sandwich" is a type of sandwich which consists of a hamburger bun or similar type of round bread, and a primary filling of a meat or vegetarian patty. The word "burger" is an abbreviation of the word "hamburger" (see the hamburger entry for an explanation of the hamburger's origins and history).

Burgers made with beef are traditionally known as hamburgers, though, due to the profusion of burger types over the last few decades, are also often referred to these days as beef burgers. Other meats such as chicken or fish can be used, and the sandwich may contain a portion of meat that is not formed into a patty. For example, a turkey burger uses ground turkey meat, a chicken burger uses ground chicken meat, a buffalo burger uses ground meat from a bison, and a veggie burger (alternately called a tofu burger. vegiburger or garden burger) uses a meat substitute (for example, tofu, TVP, seitan (wheat gluten), or an assortment of vegetables, nuts or soy protein, which are ground up and mashed into patties). A Jersey burger is a hamburger and fish (filet or burger) in one bun.

Some alternatives to hamburgers are marketed as being heathier than their beef based competitors, and a niche market exists for exotic burgers such as buffalo burgers.

There are usually other accompaniments or condiments piled onto the meat portion. These might include any combination of cheese (a cheeseburger is not a burger made primarily from cheese, but rather a hamburger with a slice of cheese in it), vegetables (lettuce, tomato, onion, pepper, pickles) and sauces (mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce, etc.)

There are two independent definitions of what differentiates a burger from a sandwich:

Burgers use processed meat (or imitation meat), regardless of the type of bread.
Burgers use a "burger" bun, regardless of the filling (see: "burgerless burger").
Burgers are usually made from ground meat or meat substitute, then re-shaped to form patties, cooked (if applicable) and eaten.

Originally meaning 'heretic', the word bugger comes via French (bougre) from Latin Bulgarus, a Bulgarian, particularly one belonging to the Orthodox church and therefore considered a heretic by Catholics. The sexual sense arose in the 16th century (Henry VIII's Buggery Act, 1533), from an association between heresy and forbidden sexual practices, especially the sin of Sodom. It has been used as a general insult since the early 18th century.
