The term bogerlee was mentioned in an earlier post. I've heard this all my life and have never known what it is. Please define


I think it's actually " boogalee"... See this LINK.

quote:

A slang term, often derogatory, for a resident of coastal Louisiana of mixed European, Amerindian, and perhaps some African heritage. The group is noted for insularity and is distinct from the more famous and numerous Cajuns, Creoles and Islenos. Their nearly-lost pigdin language has elements of Chitimachi, Portugese and French, among others. The term 'calico' is often applied.

Thank you. I felt that it was a put down term. Heard it used often in a joking manner but not to the person in questions face.
