Bogyland

/ˈboʊɡiˌlænd/ noun

Definition

An imaginary place inhabited by bogies or phantoms; the supernatural realm of ghosts and frightening creatures.

Etymology

From bogy + land, a creative compound following English patterns of place-naming (fairyland, dreamland, wonderland), suggesting a specific geographic or metaphoric space.

Kelly Says

Bogyland fits into a whole family of imaginary lands created by combining 'land' with abstract concepts—it shows how English creates parallel universes through simple word combinations, expanding our imaginative geography!
