(obsolete, slang) A potato.
An obsolete British slang term for a potato, leaning into the historical association between Ireland ('the bog') and the potato. The term dates from an era when the potato was so central to Irish subsistence that it became a cultural shorthand — used with varying degrees of humor and contempt. Today 'bog-orange' reads primarily as a historical curiosity, a relic of the slang dictionaries that documented 18th and 19th century British street vocabulary.
