Hi!
Does anyone know what "bog out" means in this sentence please ?
"I’m coming outside and I see these boys blatantly bogging me
out".
The speaker is an English teenager talking to his friends. My guess is that it means "ogle" or something like that but I'm not sure at all. What's for sure is that those boys aren't doing anything nice at all since the speaker later says he tried to hit them with a cosh.
Thank you by advance !

My guess is that speaker is saying that the crowd is blantantly slowing him down, if you run into a swamp/bog the going will invariably be slow.
Bog down often means getting stuck in the mud. (also running into a muddy problem :-)
)

Can that be "bugging" someone?
It would sound the same in the speech I guess. In Canada "to bug" someone means to annoy someone, in an agressive way (for example a drunk guy in a bar).
It would make sense with your story. Although I'm not sure wether the canadian expression is "to bug" or "to bog" since I've never seen it written.

bugging him out sounds like a more reasonable explanation.
it could be just a spelling mistake

Re: What does "to bog out" mean?
But in English, when someone is 'Bugging out' it usually means they're freaking out. ... or sometimes tripping. So it would be... "I see these boys blatantly freaking me
out"... Which also seems like very bad english Grammar. ;_; It would have to be closer to "I see these boys, and they're freaking me out." @_@

Hi Tyori
Bug him is like irritating him like a bug, right?
Bogging him out might also mean that they ar blatantly/demonstratively hindering his progress by just standing there in a way that leaves him no path through the "bog", but with no other physical action taken against him.
Perhaps?
