When mucous is in your nose, normal, fine. But when it is outside, it turns into a booger. Fascinating.

Mucus has a pretty important job - it protects the lungs. When you breathe in air through your nose, it contains lots of tiny things, like dust, dirt, germs, and pollen. If these made it all the way to the lungs, the lungs could get irritated or infected, making it be tough to breathe. Luckily, snot helps trap this stuff, keeping it in the nose and out of the lungs.

You are all in fact incorrect

Everyone knows they are in fact called bogeys.
