Merriam-Webster is reporting that the first attested usage of BOGO was from 1983, but I had never encountered the term until last night when my wife used it in conversation! It confused me so much she had to finally say "buy one..."
Then I got to explain bogo as a prefix in computing and chess before picking nits like "shouldn't it be BOGOF" (typical HN commentor that I am)?
- Macha 4y agoBOGOF was definitely enough of an established term here for ads that were making fun of the term in a meta sense while sharing their offers to have existed in the 90s. I've never seen it as just BOGO though.
