A derogatory term for someone from a swampy or marshy region, or a regional name for certain fish species found in such areas.
Compound of bog + sucker, with 'sucker' originally referring to fish that feed by sucking water (and organisms within it), later applied derisively to people from bog regions.
This word is a perfect example of how animals' feeding behaviors inspired insults—the fish called 'suckers' literally suck up bottom sediment, and calling someone a 'bogsucker' combined geographic mockery with animal behavior!
