DFNOMAD Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 i have searched all the websites that list geocaching terms, lingo and slang. and i still cant figure out what a booger is. oh, by the way, dont search "booger cache" on google. Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 My guess is that it's a local term, probably referring to a cache like those hidden by someone who uses "booger" as his geocaching handle. When I used the "Find Another Player" tool, I found a number of users with "booger" in their handle, but no one who uses just "booger" as a handle. Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) i still cant figure out what a booger is. I wasn't certain I wanted to know. But maybe this will help:http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...fc-613d7332a7a6 Booger: A free-standing utility box. To search this kind of thing, do a specially-formatted google search such as this: site:geocaching.com "booger cache" Edited September 29, 2010 by kunarion Quote Link to comment
+Cache O'Plenty Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Again, in my area, "booger" (pronounced boo'jer) is almost always the electric transformer found in all shopping malls, strip malls, light industrial area, residential areas, etc. They are almost always green although many seem to also come in tan or sandstone colors to blend in better to our environment. Cache is usually under the bottom lip and magnetic. Quote Link to comment
+hzoi Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 OK, I'll bite. WHY is this known as a "booger cache?" Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 OK, I'll bite. WHY is this known as a "booger cache?" Those caches may bring this to the cacher's mind. Hans Quote Link to comment

Hans Not really, given that: Again, in my area, "booger" (pronounced boo'jer) is almost always the electric transformer found in all shopping malls, strip malls, light industrial area, residential areas, etc. They are almost always green although many seem to also come in tan or sandstone colors to blend in better to our environment. Cache is usually under the bottom lip and magnetic. Booger the dried mucus product is apparently not pronounced the same as booger the electric transformer. Still not clear as to why this name has attached itself to transformers. Quote Link to comment
