Sharing bits of Canada 'eh🇨🇦🇨🇦 Canadian Word of the Day: Pogey
'Pogey' is a Canadian slang term for unemployment insurance or social assistance. It is thought to derive from 'pogey,' a 19th-century term for a workhouse or poorhouse. Informal, it has been part of the Canadian vernacular for decades, used to describe the act of collecting benefits, as in 'being on pogey.' #Canada #CanadianSlang #WordOfTheDay #History
