"Boofing" is not a fart as Kav said

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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 ...

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'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

I’ll admit that I hadn’t considered the other interpretation. I just assumed it was the drugs thing, but the “bu— fu—“ origin of the word makes sense too.

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.

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.

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.
