:
bogosity /boh-go's*-tee/ n. 1. [orig. CMU, now very common] The degree
to which something is bogus. Bogosity is measured with a bogometer;
in a seminar, when a speaker says something bogus, a listener might
raise his hand and say "My bogometer just triggered". More extremely,
"You just pinned my bogometer" means you just said or did something so
outrageously bogus that it is off the scale, pinning the bogometer
needle at the highest possible reading (one might also say "You just
redlined my bogometer"). The agreed-upon unit of bogosity is the
microLenat. 2. The potential field generated by a bogon flux; see
quantum bogodynamics. See also bogon flux, bogon filter, bogus.
