May I ask:
What comes to your mind when you hear or come across the word 'bogus'?
I smile when people use the word 'bogus' to mean "big", "large".
You now hear an expression like "My friend likes small cars but his latest car is very bogus".
What a big blunder!
CAUTION: The word "bogus" simply means "fake".
Sorry, it doesn't mean "big" or "extremely large", like you think.
e.g. He was arrested by the police because he had bogus car papers (meaning "fake papers").
This is interesting, isn't it?
