stogie noun a (hay)stack 20. etymology: perhaps a development of Scots stug ‘a jagged or uneven cut, anything left rough and stumpy by careless cutting; specifically in plural, unevenly cut stubble’; attested by Perthshire and Argyleshire Tinkler-Gypsies note:

There seems to be no evidence of a connection with the American slang term for a ‘long, slender, roughly made cigar or cheroot’. This is first attested in OED in 1873 by ‘J Morris’ Wanderings of a Vagabond.
