A booger monkey is a regional American colloquialism that historically refers to a mischievous or frightening hobgoblin-like creature, often described in Appalachian folklore as a hairy, black-colored spirit or "wood booger" that haunts the deep forest. While the term is frequently used today as a playful nickname for a messy child, its older roots link it to "prohibition myths" designed to scare children into staying indoors after dark to avoid being caught by such monsters. In more modern, vulgar slang, the phrase can also mock an individual perceived as unhygienic, specifically implying they are someone who eats boogers.
