\Brogue\, n. [Ir. & Gael. brog shoe, hoof.]
1. A stout, coarse shoe; a brogan.
Note: In the Highlands of Scotland, the ancient brogue was
      made of horsehide or deerskin, untanned or tenned with
      the hair on, gathered round the ankle with a thong. The
      name was afterward given to any shoe worn as a part of
      the Highland costume.
{Clouted brogues}, patched brogues; also, brogues studded
   with nails. See under {Clout}, v. t.
2. A dialectic pronunciation; esp. the Irish manner of
   pronouncing English.
         Or take, Hibernis, thy still ranker brogue. --Lloyd.
