What's in a Name? Mucus is a great word, not only because it gives name to an important bodily function, but also because it is one of those words that simultaneously makes you feel grossed-out and giggly. Other words for th poprerfully important human-health tool include slime and phlegm. Slang words for mucus Include boogers and snot. All of these words have the same giggle-power, simply from the combination of consonant and vowels. By the way, mucus is an old word; it's been around since the mid-1600s and has roots back to Latin (mucere, to be moldy or musty) and Greek (myxa, mucus). While you may assume that words like snot and boogers are relatively new slang terms, they are not. Snot dates to 1560 and comes from an Old English word, gesnot, and has the same root as the word snout. The word booger is not quite as old but has been in use since the 1890s. Read this line from the main text: Furthermore, mucus is not just the nasty gunk you see when you are sick.
