    Yes.The term boogr is a genetic term as such: Brain Offering Organic Genetic Reconstruction.The hippocampus needs new stem cells daily and usually gets what it needs from you swallowing 1pt of mucus from your nasal cavity every night. Stem cells are produced in the nasal cavity.When a developing brain of a child cannot get what it needs at night the brain triggers the act of eating boogrs to compensate. The stem cells are protected by the mucus,get through the stomach where the mucus is consumed by bacteria in the intestine. The stem cells are tagged and rushed to the brain where they are used in the hippocampus. Kids who eat boogrs are typically smarter than kids that do not. Video games and computers kill stem cells in the hippocampus and will need rapid replacement so a nervous condition may arise causing an adult to eat boogrs. Also, the "dirt" in boogrs is harmless, but the benefits that the organisms trapped in the mucus give to your immune system are good, kids who consume boogrs have very strong immune systems compared to kids who do not.

    The etymology of the word booger baffles scholars. Since it has always been considered semi-vulgar or at least childish, it has been used in few written sources. Furthermore, in the past the word booger has been used to mean many things, and has often overlapped with the terms boogie, bogey, and bugger. The earliest usage of the word is as an alternate spelling of the vulgarism bugger. Booger was first said to be slang for "dried mucus" in the 1892 Dialect Notes; boogie was said to mean the same thing in the 1891 Dictionary of American Regional English. Its appearance in slang dictionaries indicates that it had probably been used for some time in the United States before the 1890s. Both books said that mainly "school children" used the words
