• quantum bogodynamics: /kwon'tm boh`goh-di:-nam'iks/ n.

• bogosity: /boh-go's*-tee/ n. 1. The degree to which something is {bogus}.
  At CMU, 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"....
