the pogues

What every neo-celtic punk pop band aspires to be (Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, The Tossers, etc). On vox, Shane Macgowan, a legend in his own right. Contrary to popular belief, only some members of the Pogues are from Ireland. The first three LPs, classic (Red Roses for Me, Rum Sodomy and the Lash, If I Should Fall From Grace With God). Alcoholism and rumored drug abuse accusations created a rift between Shane and the rest of the band, leading to an eventual breakup. The Pogues released albums without Shane, and Shane formed his own band, The Popes. There are many bands that have been influenced by the Pogues, but the original is still the greatest.
The Pogues are great. Streams of Whiskey, anyone?

Poguesplaining 

A somewhat complex term originating from the military term pogue - and frequently done by such service members, poguesplaining is the act of when a person with seemingly high intelligence to their peers, due to their occupation or extensive knowledge on certain topics, gives an explanation for a proposed question that their peers will assume to be true based on their apparent intelligence, when the explanation actually has no basis in reality or is a biased perspective.

For example, the offender could claim that the life insurance policy of their own branch has a higher payout than any other branch in the military. When the offender makes this claim, they are not questioned because they are generally right about many other things or have status that requires high intelligence. However, the claim has no basis in reality (all life insurance policies are the same in the military), and comes from some kind of need to gloat or otherwise from plain ignorance.

Offenders of poguesplaining often go unnoticed until they get something completely wrong and it is rightfully called out by others of similar intelligence. Even then, serial offenders still maintain a status of high intelligence and continue to get away with giving wrong explanations for proposed topics that are simply not true.

The term originates from the non-combative service members who are looked at as being smarter than most, but can apply to almost any civilian world situation of similar nature.
Private Berry - "I think corn is one of the best vegetables you can get at the DFAC, it's just as good as the others and tastes the best by far so it's easier to get more out of it"
PFC POGUE - "Corn is basically only fiber that your body barely digests dude you're hardly getting anything out of eating it"
Private Berry - "Oh, really? That's surprising since it's one of the most commonly eat vegetables, but I'll take your word for it."
(Later) Private Aiple to Private Berry - "Dont listen to him, corn both promotes digestion and contains plenty of vitamins and minerals in addition to being a great source of carbs and fiber. He's just poguesplaining again.
