boogie
Upbeat blues style
Boogie began as a style of blues piano playing with a driving, repetitive bass pattern—boogie-woogie.
From there it became a verb meaning to dance, especially to rock or disco music: Let's boogie.
In casual speech, to boogie also means to leave or move quickly: We'd better boogie if we want to make the movie.
A boogie can be a piece of nasal mucus, though that's usually spelled booger.
