Bugaboo

At any rate you must all be ready now to judge the religious life by its results exclusively, and I shall assume that the bugaboo of morbid origin will scandalize your piety no more.

“Oh! Of all the intolerable bugaboos. Gentlemen, this is a family discu-- Oh!”

Rather, our discussion of inference is devoted mostly to the finite-sample bugaboos that should bother practitioners.

“Uh, Celeste? Sorry to bug. You said you were gonna start making us vampires, quote, "Hopefully within the week." And that was last week.” “Is someone talking to me right now?” “That's actually true. You did say that. And I don't want to be a bugaboo.” “Bugaboo?” “But you know what it's like for us.” “What is this, an ambush?” “Sort of, like, a timeline would mean a l-lot.” “Okay.”

A notable recent example comes via Tyler Oliveira, a YouTuber who rose to fame with stunts like trying to absorb a swimming pool’s worth of water with paper towels before pivoting to “documentaries” that often purport to expose conservative bugaboos — and who has filmed two recent videos focused on Jews.
