Boogie
Groovy informal title
Boogie is energetic dancing, especially to rock or blues music: Let's boogie.
The word evokes informal, unselfconscious movement—dancing for fun rather than form.
As a verb, boogie can mean simply to go or move: We better boogie if we want to make the show.
A boogie is also a piece of dried nasal mucus, usually in children's speech.
