Etymology: In Scots and northern English dialect, "foggie" is a variant form of "fog," the coarse, rank grass that grows up in a meadow after the hay has been cut. That sense goes back to a Middle English word, "fogge," probably borrowed from Old Norse "fogg," meaning grass growth or moss. The "-ie" ending is a common Scots diminutive and spelling pattern, so the form is most likely a regional variant rather than a separate word with its own history. Its exact date of first recorded use in English is uncertain.
