The term "booger" is believed to have originated in the early 19th century, derived from the Middle English word "bugger," which referred to a goblin or an evil spirit. Over time, it evolved to describe nasal mucus, likely due to the unpleasant connotation associated with both terms. The term has since become a colloquial and often humorous reference to nasal discharge in American English.
