"Obviously it isn't the same thing. Where did you get your definition from?"

LOL! This just keeps gettin' funnier! The whole Army and the Marines know that one.

So you were in the Navy? It appears that the Navy uses the same phrase.

Google.com keyword and phrase:

dictionary "pogey bait"

Time for some more "edumacatin"...
Pogue Is A Pogue
However, upon further research (internet and otherwise) it looks like "pogey bait" is actually the young man used to entrap a homosexual (the "pogue").

And this guy plays himself off as admirable!

Pillman has difficulty with reading and comprehension.

At first he thought the term pogeybait sailor was call him gay. Then he latches on the term geedunk, which he lifts from my post to someone else. Unfortunately, he doesn't look to see that geedunk wasn't mention previously on the thread so didn't comprehend that my (Geedunk?) to a person using the term sealawyer was asking them if they were familiar with the term.

You must keep in mind, the Navy did have personnel problems in the 70's and early 80's but them have long overcome those issues...he is not indicative of the fine sailors I know today (thought I would never tell them that direction...competion between us and the Navy is even worse then that between them and you guys).

You take care of yourself trooper. Have a pleasant evening. Time for me to turn in.

LOL! Yep, the Navy uses it, too, and very commonly, it appears.

But while running the google.com search, I did see that homosexuals tend to more immediately adhere the phrase, "pogey bait" to the very old definition of a "pogue" (homosexual boy).
