Are they called pokies because all you do is sit there and poke the button?
Also, that song, "Big Girls Don't Cry" - Freud would have an orgasmic fit! With such classicly freudian lines such as:
"I'm gonna miss you like a child misses its blanket but I gotta get a move on with my life." (potentially the most annoying line in all of every song i know, with way too many syllables.)
and "It's time to be a big girl now, and big girls don't cry."

When you see all those people 'poking' those pokie machines, does it make you lose a little faith in humanity? It always gives me a cold chill down my spine. Ugh. Blow up the pokies!
"Pokies" is short for "Poker Machines" since the most common game on them at their introduction was poker.
