"Pogey" is a slang term, largely Canadian, for unemployment insurance or welfare benefits. 🍁 It's similar to "dole" but often carries a more informal or even slightly derogatory connotation. It implies that someone is receiving government assistance because they are unemployed, often with the implication that they may not be actively seeking work. It's a way of referring to government support payments to those out of work. Think of it as a casual and potentially judgmental way to talk about social assistance. It’s like calling someone a ‘welfare bum’ – but milder.
