A boogeyman spoken language slang
An imaginary evil figure used to frighten children.
The thought boogeymen would come to my room at night makes me sleepless.
I took that old man with black teeth and white hair as a boogeyman long time ago.
It's such a shame that until 18, I am still afraid of boogeymen though I knew they are imaginary figures.
Anything that is threatening or frightening.
The thought that he would be sent to the military is a boogeyman to him.
Come out of a difficult situation without a stain on one's character
I don't understand how he can fall in shit and come out smelling like a rose.
