Pop Off Like a Pogue With American Eagle's Outer Banks Collection (2024)

FAQs

What is an Outer Banks Pogue? ›

Simply put, a Pogue is someone who lives in the Cut. It's a title that John B and his friends have adopted for their group. According to John B in the series pilot, its origin is from a type of fish: pogies, a throwaway fish, the lowest member of the food chain.

If you want to dress like a Pogue, your outfits should reflect this. In real life, the Pogue style could be compared to the surfer or VSCO style. Basically, keep things summery. That means you'll be wearing jean shorts, swimsuits, tank tops, crop tops, lots of jewelry and accessories, and hopefully sunscreen.

The term was used as early as the First World War by US Marines to refer to a male hom*osexual. At the beginning of World War II, "pogue" was used by Marine drill instructors to refer to trainees believed not to meet the expected standards or failing to display the appropriate esprit de corps.

Pogues stems from the Gaelic phrase 'póg mo thóin', which means 'kiss my arse' in the Irish language. The band was formed in King's Cross in London in 1982, and at first they went by the name Pogue Mahone, an anglicization of the famous phrase.

True Pogue variants were gold-dialed 6139-6005's made from 1971 through circa 1972, and feature the following: - "Seiko Automatic" just below the 12 o'clock position; - Spanish/English day language wheel; - "Water 70M Resist" at the 9 o'clock position; - the Suwa factory symbol and "17J" above the 6 o'clock position.

Even though Kiara comes from the wealthier side of the island, she is still at the core of the Pogues. She is sick of the Kook lifestyle, and longs to live life with more freedom, which she sees in the The Pogues. In the pilot, John B reveals that he, JJ, and Pope each have or had some sort of attraction to Kiara.

Within the world of the series Outer Banks, pogue is used as a self-identifying name for working class residents of part of the area, contrasted with the wealthier kooks. This use of kook is believed to be based on real-life surfing slang for inexperienced surfers—those considered posers.

It is also known for its stunning natural beauty, including miles of pristine beaches, towering lighthouses, and unique wildlife such as the wild horses that roam the islands.

Outer Banks actor Chase Stokes and country musician Kelsea Ballerini are officially a couple. Chase confirmed their relationship on TODAY in an interview with Sheinelle Jones, who first asked the actor if he'd be catching Kelsea's upcoming SNL performance.

John B.'s main love interest is 16-year-old Sarah Cameron. She's known as a "Kook," or a rich person in the Outer Banks. While Sarah's family may be elitist and, in some cases, downright evil, Sarah is able to escape all that to find love with John B. and his friends, the "Pogues."

What does being Pogue mean? ›

In military slang, pogue is a disparaging term for military members who do not engage in direct combat or those who are not on the front lines of combat. The term may have origins in antigay slurs.

Chase Stokes as John B.

In OBX season 1, John B. is a minor, as evidenced by child services coming to put him into foster care because he doesn't have a guardian. This means that Chase Stokes is about 10 or 11 years older than his character, making him the oldest of the Pogues.

The pogues tell the story of El Dorado and everything that led up to it, apparently now everyone believes all of it, and they are publicly honored and credited for finding 3 treasures. But nobody does anything about the clear-cut theft of the Royal Merchant gold and the cross?

Typically, they have elitist or superior attitudes and are discriminatory towards the less well-off members of society, namely The Pogues. "Kook" is a generalized term for people from the Northside. They don't share the same close sense of family, unity, or friendship that The Pogues have.
