A booger is that thick bit of sticky or dried stuff from inside your nose. Doctors may say ; children, and adults being funny, say booger. It is everyday American body-talk: a little rude, a little gross, not a swear word, and not for a careful essay. British speakers often say bogey for the same thing. People pick them, wipe them, and pretend they never did. You will hear it at home and in jokes, not in a formal letter.
鼻屎(口語;較文雅才說鼻垢)
組成An alteration of older dialect words buggard (bug + -ard), boggart, or boggard — goblin / scare-thing words. Compare bogey. Alemannic German Naaseböög is the same nose-stuff. (A different booger, a person on a boogie board, is boogie board + -er, not this sense.)
