Are these verbs interchangeable: bog off and get lost ? Do my sentences make sense?
That girl bogs off guys all time.
That girl gets lost guys all time.

Perhaps it's "bug off?" "That girl tells guys to bug off all the time." "That girl tells guys to get lost all the time."

I agree with Michael. Bog off is something that I don't think I've actually heard anyone say - in the UK. You usually see it in older kids books like Swallows and Amazons. I think it's quite outdated.

I haven't heard "bog off" in a couple of decades I didn't think it was still in use. Maybe it's northern England local dialect? I don't know. I'd advise against using it. Both are quite aggressive.

Hey Jesús,
Bog off and get lost are interchangeable but I think you are confused about the meaning. Both are usually directed at someone and mean to go away. So if someone is annoying you, you can tell them to get lost or bog off. Also bog off is British English. If you wanted to use it with your sentence, you could say
That girl tells guys to get lost all the time.
That girl tells guys to bog off all the time.
Hope it helps.
