Bogie - the "bo" should be pronounced as in "Bo Diddley"

so do you call it a boogie or a bogie?

Bogey. Plural "bogies". *edit* but might be bogie - didn't get taught to spell those kind of words in our village primary school.
 
Inspired one of the greats of childrens literature, Fungus The Bogeyman - whose name is a pun on both the idea of the mythical bogeyman and the snot excavated from small childrens' noses.

Sean says that when he was a kid, the word boogie (the thing that you get in your nose) was referred to as a bowgy (ie: bogart-bogie) He says it's a UK thing. I wonder how you spell that word in the UK, and if you refer to the Boogieman as the Bowgieman
