Morphology

full + of + bogosity

The frame 'full of + [noun]' is fully compositional, so if a learner recognises 'bogosity' as derived from 'bogus' (meaning falseness or nonsense) the overall meaning is directly predictable. However, 'bogosity' is a low‑frequency/slang coinage and its formation (-ity from bogus) may not be obvious to an average B1 learner, so the expression is only partially predictable without prior exposure.

Etymology

The phrase full of bogosity comes from the word bogus, an old slang word for 'fake'. One popular story says bogus was used for fake coins, so bogosity gives the picture of something full of fakes and nonsense, and that's why 'full of bogosity' means 'full of nonsense'.
