I've never heard of it. I would imagine it's a roll of toilet paper though.

This is very common in UK and Raymott is correct :-)

It's not a word I'm familiar with, and I'm a lifelong American from the Midwest.

I've never heard this either. Is it common in the UK? A "bog" is a marshy place you grow cranberries. Is it a toilet in the UK? In Australia?

'The bog(s)' was a common word for the lavatories among boys when I was at school in the fifties and sixties; bogroll was provided, if one was lucky. It was still being used by schoolboys in the nineties; I don't know if it is common today.

I don't hear it used that much nowadays.
