Definition
More bogey-like or phantom-like; scarier or more frightening than something else.
Etymology
From 'bogy' or 'bogie' (a phantom or goblin) + '-er' (Old English comparative suffix). The '-er' suffix forms comparatives, comparing one thing as more of the quality than another.
Kelly Says
Comparative forms like 'bogier' show English's flexibility—speakers can instantly add '-er' to almost any adjective to create comparisons, which is why English has thousands of comparative forms despite not needing most of them.
