pogophile

A pogophile is a person who feels compelled to use a walking stick although they do not really need it. A pogophile will go about his or her daily business,moving from one place to another at breakneck speed with their walking stick hardly ever touching the ground. The majority of the pogophile population also use their walking stick as an excuse to claim extra unemployment benefits that they are not really entitled to. The pogophiles obsession with the walking stick would probably begin with a twisted ankle where they used a crutch for a while and realised that people were giving them their undivided attention. They would then take advantage of this situation by claiming to have other ailments affecting their abilities to walk,hence the need for a walking stick. In a nut-shell,the pogophile is an able bodied person tring to pass themselves off as being disabled.
