World Naked Bike Ride - Part 21

 Ginger Pogue

An unashamed male who stood out in my collection of WNBR photos goes by the name of Ginger Pogue.  He also appeared on a site daring guys to be photographed naked in various situations, mainly outdoors or in public, which he had no problem with.  One of my previous posts showed him playing billiards naked.

This is him at the 2010 London WNBR, presumably in Hyde Park where the riders gather at the start of the event

Tying his shoe at the 2010 London WNBR.  From other sources, we find that his real name is Matt.  Why does he call himself Ginger Pogue?  Well, he is a ginger, the British term for a redhead.  For some reason that Americans find baffling, the British heap scorn and ridicule on gingers, but I personally like redheads.

"Pogue" is a different matter.  I had to look it up, but in U.S. slang around World War II, it meant "a young, male, passive homosexual," in other words, a gay bottom.  I was unable to find any British slang definition of pogue, but there was a London band called The Pogues, originally named Pogue Mahone, an Anglicization of the Irish Gaelic phrase "Póg mo thóin", which means "kiss my ass."

So, I don't know whether he's naming himself as a ginger gay bottom, or proclaiming, "I'm ginger; kiss my ass!"

In any case, he's an unashamed male.  Here he is on the street at the 2010 London WNBR.

He also enjoys posing naked with other people, here on the street.

Here he's posing with two women.  They don't seem as happy about it as he is.

He also showed up at the 2012 London WNBR.

And finally, posing arm-in-arm at the 2012 London WNBR.  I must say these two look very friendly.

So is he "ginger bottom boy" or "I'm ginger; kiss my ass?"  You decide.
