Found this site while trying to add an entry to wikipedia, (bogging) the definition I was trying to place was a local slang from rossnowlagh, Ireland. It is a derogatory name for an ugly girl!

“Hey doll your bogging hey!” Donegal accent.

But on another level I grow up in the west of Ireland and my granddad had a peat bog. I remember fondly as a child going to the bog to help him cut turf! Cheap labour huh? I live in London now and realise the world has changed and we need to conserve our bog land but I feel privileged to be some one who has looked into the past and seen how we used to live. By that I mean he had to use the bog to live (heat their home) and to where we are now. We can now look at bogs as a place of enjoyment, probably the only unspoilt landscapes this country has left.

What if the owner of a lake where bogs feed in started accepting toxic waste, all for a small profit? What should be done then? ;-)

The term “bog” is, of course, an eponym referring to Jorn Bogger.

Well, I just hope we don’t get bogged down with griefers and trolls and the like; there’s little worse than a troll in your bog. They just stomp all over everything and crush what you’ve planted… it just drains your bog really, dries it up.

And too much spam in your bog — well, then, nothing can grow. Just gunks up the works, all those nitrites.

I think it’s high time the bogsploitation crowd began to adopt some environmentalist sensibilities and stop treating their natural heritage as merely as place to plant cranberries.

It is clear that bogging is a major threat to established news outlets and power structures.

Ian Bogost, aren’t you at a conference on MMBOGs as we speak?

Yes, and MudGrass seems to be the first company that has turned the Theory of Mudbogging into a big time moneyspinner.

There’s a whole slew of bogging services creeping up these days: Bogger, LilyPad, and MudGrass, just to name a few.

Outdoors, on the go, but still checking in on the bog — looks like mo-bogging to me.
