A sham. An object or action that is inappropriate. Something that doesn't function properly or live up to guarantees. It's a lemon. It causes disappointment, befuddlement, or anger. It's something that just isn't what it should be.
Very similar to a peon; some bungsnoipe who is regarded as a nobody -- usually at their place of employ, but in this case the bogus pisson can be at other locations too such as at bars, nightclubs, dance halls, etc.
This phrase came into existance from the Anthrax album "Among the Living" that was released in 1987; specifically in the song "Imitation of Life".
How many times have you heard this today?
Some bogus pisson saying 'Let's do lunch babe!'
For them this bullshit, it's their whole life;
Cut through the bullshitwith a knife!
Philosophy teacher. Talks at about the speed of a hummingbird on speed. May or may not be a pathological liar. Did the Cheese Story actually happen? Does Boguski Island really exist? We'll never know.
"Hey, Mr. Boguski, ever been to Verona?"
"Why, yes, I have. And while I was there I ended up getting chased through the piazza by two Italian thugs after accidentallyordering $850 worth of cheese . . ."
Bogus is a word going back a couple hundred years which refered to counterfeit money and anything else that's fake. It also means wrong, uncool, unfair, unreal, off, messed up. Popularized in the late '80's and early '90's by Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure in which Bill and Ted frequently refer to things as bogus.
