Well, I say I know that's what it means, but that's just what I read. I could be wrong.

There's no vowel in the OPs spelling.
If there was, you're right. There isn't, so it is indeed boog as in booger.

Cajuns pronounce it with a long O. Bohg

Not the Cajuns I know. Boog. Like sug(ar).

I'm down in Delcambre and quizzed a few pure Cajuns.
They all say Boog as in booger

Trying to give your son a nickname I see.

Wife kept calling him bubba.....I told her that's not gonna happen. Cute right now, but in 10 years I don't want to get the call saying "Bubba got a detention today for farting in social studies."

My uncle is bubba, you got a problem with that?
Posted on 11/9/14 at 7:36 pm to Mr Gardoki
Your uncle probably farted in social studies.
