Fogy \Fo"gy\, n. (Mil.)
   In the United States service, extra pay granted to officers
   for length of service. [Colloq.]

Fogy \Fo"gy\, n.; pl. {Fogies}.
   A dull old fellow; a person behind the times,
   over-conservative, or slow; -- usually preceded by old.
   [Written also {fogie} and {fogey}.] [Colloq.]

         Notorious old bore; regular old fogy.    --Thackeray.

   Note: The word is said to be connected with the German vogt,
         a guard or protector. By others it is regarded as a
         diminutive of folk (cf. D. volkje). It is defined by
         Jamieson, in his Scottish Dictionary, as ``an invalid
         or garrison soldier,'' and is applied to the old
         soldiers of the Royal Hospital at Dublin, which is
         called the Fogies' Hospital. In the fixed habits of
         such persons we see the origin of the present use of
         the term. --Sir F. Head.
