It is putting booze and drugs into ones rectum!
He wrote in his yearbook asking a friend if he "Boofed yet"? He was asked about it in the hearing and very quickly replied, "it was a fart, we were 17".
Wow, they did some seriously messed up stuff!

mysteryowl
(7,390 posts)Some are saying they tried it.
I had never heard of it either. I wondered why the senator was asking Kav about farting. I guess he wasn't. He knew what it was when he asked and received a lie reply, immediately. It was a flash it was so quick his reply.

(14,966 posts)if you could subpoena every living high school classmate/friend and ask them if they ever heard Brett use the word, and if so what the context of his usage was, and then nail him for lying about that.

(33,643 posts)I don't care what the 2018 Urban Dictionary says ... Sticking drugs up one's ass was NOT a thing back then.
Boofed, at that time was short for Bu-Fu-ing ... you can suss out the remainder of those two words, I'm pretty sure ...
If you 'boofed', you did it to someone ... not yourself.
mysteryowl
(7,390 posts)People are admitting to having done it.
mr_lebowski
(33,643 posts)Are they saying they did this in 1982, and people called it 'boofing' at THAT time?
I mean, where I came from, Bay Area in No. Cal ... boofing meant anal sex. I never, ever, ever heard of anyone partying drugs by putting them in their ass. And I PARTIED DRUGS, make no mistake about that. Pretty sure I'd have heard if that was a 'thing' circa 1982.
Maybe those DC urbanites were just way ahead of us suburban dweebs with their terminology, and we just got a bastardized version
mysteryowl
(7,390 posts)but maybe it was anal sex. That would match the question in the yearbook.
"Have you boofed yet?"
mr_lebowski
(33,643 posts)As it did in 1982
Hell, 15 years ago, 'sick' ... was not a positive.
I mean, as long as everyones consenting, I don't care if someone wants to do either kind of boofing ... be kinda weird to have a SCOTUS Justice who was asking friends if they'd done either of those things when they were minors, but ... I mean if he's wasn't a rapey POS otherwise I'd not consider it 'disqualifying' all on it's own ...

I have this hazy recollection of us discussing the subject in the past ... could be totally off though ...

Hassin Bin Sober
(26,327 posts)... and Bu-Fu. It refers to butt sex. This was the 80s.
Booty bump and butt-chugging refer to the other thing.

(3,706 posts)...or so they deplorably try to convince themselves; thus Kavanaugh says, I long remained a virgin
OneBro
(1,159 posts)He wants the world to believe the yearbook reference was Did you fart yet? That makes NO sense! Did you put drugs up your ass? is a risqué question that at least makes sense under the circumstances, but Did you fart yet? Is a question that has NEVER been asked in the history of human kind.
I also call bullshit on the cockamamie idea that the Renate Alumni was a term of endearment.
The guy is as comfortable lying as Trump.

It is a coverup to avoid an FBI Investigation.
mr_lebowski
(33,643 posts)It's either 'have you, dude, ever gotten a girl to do anal with you', or 'has X girl allowed to you do anal with her', depending on the context.
"Boofing" was short for "Bu-Fu-ing" where I came from, and I'm almost his exact same age, grew up in the same high school "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" party scene of the early 80's.
I could be wrong, but I'll be pretty surprised, if this mystery is ever definitively solved ... and I'm incorrect
Bluepinky
(2,268 posts)And that would correlate to something else Kavanaugh and his friends would say about girls, that
No means yes, and yes means anal.
renate
(13,776 posts)Have you farted yet? Oh PLEASE.
SUCH A LIAR.
Ill admit that I hadnt considered the other interpretation. I just assumed it was the drugs thing, but the bu fu origin of the word makes sense too.

mysteryowl
(7,390 posts)He is guilty.
I hold out on one possibility, which is that he was so drunk he had a black-out and did not remember his behavior. All the accuser say he was drunk at the time of their encounters with him.
renate
(13,776 posts)I could believe it if he would just admit that he drank so much that this were possible.
But this choirboy act is disgusting and a lie.

(6,280 posts).... Is that not one Democratic senator or one of the aides had the wherewithal to use the damn cell phone in their pocket to look it up. Would have been a hell of a gotcha moment.
4nic8em
(482 posts)In Kavs High School year book there is also a mention of "FFFFF". He said it was referring to one of his buddies awkward pronunciation of the word "Fuck" (which is his horseshit explanation). Graphically, what those 5 F's refer to is: Find them, Feed them, Finger them, Fuck them, Forget them, which is a boys club attitude towards women (along the lines of Bro's before Ho's)...another lie you can credit to Brett.

Throck
(2,520 posts)I've heard of it also in reference to lighting farts, aka blue angels.(my youth. )
I know of it being used as a biggoted racial term as well, circa 1978.
The earliest alcohol enema reference i can find is about 2006.
I'd be interested to know how much money is spent by the government researching this one.
Downtown Hound
(12,618 posts)But number one, very, very, rarely, and not for a LONG time.
Number two, who the hell asks a 17 year old, "Did you fart yet?" Well, let's see Kav, the average human being farts about 10-15 times per day, and I'm 17 years old, so 17 times 365 times 10 (the lowball estimate) is 62,050. So yes, Kav, I have boofed well over 60,000 times.
Thank you for asking.
