Booger or BOOGR?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

When my body parts are at peace, I am healthy. Hmmm…

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

You gently push us to try something new.
You whisper, “You can do it” when we hesitate to try.
You set before us the potential rewards for making an effort.
You let us see that any adventure begins with a first step.
When it’s over, you invite us, who don’t know what’s on the menu, to a great feast.
We will respond, for we trust you.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“This must be the 13th, Barabbas.”

D. Blog: Explaining “Booger”

[Thanks to answerbag.com for these answers to the long-suppressed question about where and how we picked out this word.]

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 word.

Answer #2: The term boogr is a genetic term, as such: Brain Offering Organic Genetic Reconstruction. The hippocampus needs new stem cells daily and usually gets what it needs when you swallow mucus from your nasal cavity every night. Stem cells are produced in the nasal cavity. When a developing brain of a child cannot get what it needs at night, the brain triggers the act of eating boogrs to compensate. The stem cells are protected by the mucus, get through the stomach where the mucus is consumed by bacteria in the intestines. The stem cells are tagged and rushed to the brain where they are used in the hippocampus.

Kids who eat boogrs are typically smarter than kids who do not. Video games, television and computers kill stem cells in the hippocampus and will need rapid replacement, so a nervous condition may arise causing an adult to eat boogrs. Also, the "dirt" in boogrs is harmless, but the benefits that the organisms trapped in the mucus give to your immune system are essential. Kids who consume boogrs have very strong immune systems compared to kids who do not.

[I would advise kids to seek confirmation before picking this latter explanation for use in a school assignment.]
