“Boof” definitely meant flatulence in 1979, when I graduated from high school. A good friend of mine was known as “King Boof” for the obvious reasons. Google has changed the definition to slander Kavanaugh.

I graduated in 1976 and it meant that then too, even out in Podunk Holler where I lived. The left loves to change the names of things and then act like we are idiots when we don’t refer to things the same way they do.

Thongs, gay are a prime example...there are tons more...

I agree with you. Slang words among teenagers tend to change a lot over time and location.

My high school buddies and I would have a vocabulary that was full of changed meanings and made up words.

KD POP - Kick down Phil on the prowl. Meant Phil S. in his ‘70 Impala would use the kick down feature on the auto transmission to prompt street races. Could be interpreted as looking for someone to attack.

AWK vs ACK. One had a sexual meaning, one was a way to hail a friend when yelled in a crowd.

Cody - a certain type of girl

BJ Rene - another type of girl.

Every group has their own special terms. Just because Boof means something today in wide usage, it might have meant something else to them.
