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.
