It's slang, the word bog in reference to 'boggy ground' comes from the Scottish Gaelic 'bog' meaning 'soft'. I guess it's somewhere where you make soft ground.
We call it a bog/dunny/lavoratory (jks, that last one is just me).
Most people think it's derived from the word "dunnigin." That being a prehistoric term for "privy."
You're English. I can blame you for our strange words, right?
