What is "bog"? :-?
Context is Everything.
Never mind what 'bog' might mean, the use here is "bog-standard" which means 'vanilla' or 'off the shelf' or 'normal' or 'as sold & delivered.
I get that, but I still want to know what bog is :-) Dictionary says "swamp".
Actually, "bog-standard" is not just some idiom, at least its in the cambridge dictionary: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/de/worterbuch/englisch/bog-standard this one's nice too: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bog-standard "from the unattested acronym BOG, allegedly short for British or German, referring to the supposed dominance of British and German engineering during Victorian times."
