bogosity

( /boh·go´s@·tee/, n.)

   1.  [orig.  CMU,  now  very  common] The degree to which something is
   {bogus}.  Bogosity is measured with a {bogometer}; in a seminar, when
   a  speaker  says something bogus, a listener might raise his hand and
   say  "My  bogometer just triggered". More extremely, "You just pinned
   my  bogometer"  means  you just said or did something so outrageously
   bogus  that  it is off the scale, pinning the bogometer needle at the
   highest  possible  reading  (one might also say "You just redlined my
   bogometer"). The agreed-upon unit of bogosity is the {microLenat}.

   2.  The  potential  field  generated  by a {bogon flux}; see {quantum
   bogodynamics}. See also {bogon flux}, {bogon filter}, {bogus}.
