The degree to which
something is bogus. 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”. More extremely, “You just pinned my bogometer” means you just said or did something so outrageously bogus that it is off the scale, pinning the bogometer needle at the highest possible reading (one might also say “You just redlined my bogometer”). The agreed-upon
unit of bogosity is the microLenat.
Bush's claim that
Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (
WMD) pegged my bogometer at 1000 microLenats, producing bogosity of Biblical proportions.
