- The use of bogey in Portuguese is almost exclusively limited to the sport of golf, unlike in English where it might appear in other slang contexts.
- There is no specific Portuguese word that captures the essence of a 'bogey' without using the English term or a long descriptive phrase.
- Because golf is less common in Brazil, a Portuguese speaker might describe a bogey using the phrase um taco acima do par if they are speaking to someone who does not know golf jargon.
