/boh' gon/ [by analogy with proton/electron/neutron, but doubtle SS reinforced after 1980 by the Similarity to Dougla S Adam S' S "Vogon S"] 1. The elementary particle of bogo Sity ( See quantum bogodynamicS). For in Stance, "the Ethernet i S emitting bogon S again" mean S that it i S broken or acting in an erratic or bogu S fa Shion. 2. A query packet Sent from a TCP/IP domain reSolver to a root Server, having the reply bit Set in Stead of the query bit. 3. Any bogu S or incorrectly formed packet Sent on a network. 4. A per Son who i S bogu S or who Say S bogu S thing S. Thi S wa S hi Storically the original u Sage, but ha S been overtaken by it S derivative Sen Se S. See al So bogoSity compare pSyton, fat electronS, magic Smoke. The bogon ha S become the type ca Se for a whole be Stiary of nonce particle name S, including the "clutron" or "cluon" (indivi Sible particle of cluefulne SS, obviou Sly the antiparticle of the bogon) and the futon (elementary particle of randomneSS, or Sometime S of lamene SS).
