bogon /boh'gon/ n. very common; by analogy with
proton/electron/neutron, but doubtless reinforced after 1980 by the
similarity to douglas adams's `vogons'; see the bibliography in
appendix c and note that arthur dent actually mispronounces `vogons' as
`bogons' at one point 1. the elementary particle of bogosity see
quantum bogodynamics. for instance, "the ethernet is emitting bogons
again" means that it is broken or acting in an erratic or bogus fashion.
2. a query packet sent from a tcp/ip domain resolver to a root server,
having the reply bit set instead of the query bit. 3. any bogus or
incorrectly formed packet sent on a network. 4. by synecdoche, used to
refer to any bogus thing, as in "i'd like to go to lunch with you but
i've got to go to the weekly staff bogon". 5. a person who is bogus or
who says bogus things. this was historically the original usage, but has
been overtaken by its derivative senses 1-4. see also bogosity,
bogus; compare psyton, fat electrons, magic smoke.
the bogon has become the type case for a whole bestiary of nonce
particle names, including the `clutron' or `cluon' indivisible particle
of cluefulness, obviously the antiparticle of the bogon and the futon
elementary particle of randomness, or sometimes of lameness. these
are not so much live usages in themselves as examples of a live
meta-usage: that is, it has become a standard joke or linguistic
maneuver to "explain" otherwise mysterious circumstances by inventing
nonce particle names. and these imply nonce particle theories, with all
their dignity or lack thereof we might note parenthetically that this
is a generalization from "bogus particle theories" to "bogus particle
theories". perhaps such particles are the modern-day equivalents of
trolls and wood-nymphs as standard starting-points around which to
construct explanatory myths. of course, playing on an existing word as
in the `futon' yields additional flavor. compare magic smoke.
