   A bogey refers to different concepts depending on the context: 1. In golf, a bogey is a score of one stroke over par at a hole. 2. In military slang, it is used to refer to an unidentified aircraft or missile, often an enemy one. 3. In a broader context, it can be used to describe an imaginary source of fear or an object of aversion. 4. It can also refer to a low ranking or standard (as in "bogey value"). 5. In bridge and similar games, it can mean an imaginary player who always plays perfectly. 6. For trains, a bogey is a framework with wheels attached. 7. Among children, it is also a term for dried nasal mucus. The usage depends entirely on the specific context, as these are unrelated senses of the term.
