Scottish slang that covers the full spectrum of gross: something bogging can be putrid, filthy, revolting, or just deeply unpleasant. It's used to describe bad smells, horrible food, unhygienic conditions, or anything that triggers a visceral disgust response. Versatile and emphatic, bogging punches harder than 'minging' and is a staple of Scottish everyday speech — especially effective when delivered with full disdain. Often used as a stand-alone exclamation when words otherwise fail.
She opened the bin bag and immediately gagged — it was absolutely bogging in there.

(UK, slang) bog-standard; ordinary; unexceptional.
(Scotland, slang) Stinking; disgusting.
Scottish slang for something that smells awful, looks disgusting, or is otherwise deeply unpleasant. It's a versatile insult that can apply to a stench, a messy room, questionable food, or a person's behavior. Widely used in everyday Scottish speech — especially in the Central Belt — and understood across Scotland without being overly formal or literary. 'Bowfing' carries the same casual disgust as 'manky' or 'minging,' and can be used with cheerful irreverence as much as genuine revulsion.
(humorous, rare, slang) Exhibiting bogosity; bogus, bad, incorrect.
