Bogiages

A term developed and used along the eastern seaboard around the turn of the 21st century.

“Bogiages” is used to describe a joke (short story) which is told to humor it’s audience, but fails to do so. The joke can only truly be described as a true Bogiages if it is so bad that the audience ends up laughing at the author and not the joke itself. In most cases the author of the joke will be oblivious to this and will assume that the joke itself accomplished its goal.
