What does BOOGY mean in Scrabble?
verb
informal
To dance energetically to rock or popular music, also spelled boogie or boogey.
Boogy describes the loose, rhythmic dancing linked to boogie-woogie and later to rock and pop music, where dancers move freely rather than following set steps. Word-game dictionaries list the spelling boogy alongside the far more common boogie, though most people say and write boogie in ordinary speech. As a noun the same spelling can also mean an imaginary evil spirit used to frighten children, a sense closer to bogey and bogeyman than to dancing. Song lyrics and casual speech keep the dancing sense of boogy alive, urging listeners to get up and move.
