(guitar to end) ~ *Boogied - pronounced more like 'bo-gee'd or 'bo-gin' Refers to mean and/or cheap boyfriend, man or husband. As in old blues lyrics 'My Man Is Boogan Me' Lucille Bogan. (few lines below) .. 'He won't buy me no shoes, he won't buy me no clothes And he's got so lowdown, he wants to put me outdoors, You know that's boogin' me'.
