plural bogies.]
1. A goblin; a bugbear.
Syn: bogeyman.
[Webster 1913 Suppl.]
I have become a sort of bogey -- a kill-joy. --Wm.
Black.
[Webster 1913 Suppl.]
2. (Golf) a score one stroke over par for a hole; formerly,
the definition of bogey was the same as that now used for
par, i.e., an ideal score or number of strokes, for each
hole, against which players compete; -- it was said to be
