I had always understood "dis" to be shorthand for "disrespect" - or the
way one pronounces "this" if one is from Chicago. OTOH, "bogus" would be
"phony", "fake" (as in "bogus money") - but maybe in the late 60s it may
have been equivalent to "rotten", "uncool", as in: "like, this scene is
totally bogus, man..." Is there some usage here with which I'm not
familiar? :-)

Maybe I need to go back and reread Dante...... (The things one has to do
to keep up with Ada technology these days is pretty amazing! :-)
