Morphology
bluggy + day
The headword 'bluggy' is not attested in standard dictionaries and offers no clear, predictable morphological or semantic cues, so its meaning cannot be derived by a learner who only knows the constituent words. Although the adjective+day pattern is compositionally transparent in general, the unknown/nonce adjective makes the overall expression unintelligible without prior exposure or definition.
Etymology
Bluggy day may come from joining blue (grey, sad) and muddy (wet and dirty). Picture a grey sky and wet, muddy ground, and so that image is why bluggy day means 'a dull, wet, muddy day'.
