I've heard the word Flogging used in a couple different ways, it could be to beat with or as if with a rod or whip, or I heard people use it in reference to phacking.  Not sure which one it is, or if its something else who knows.

Answer 8

Flogging can mean beating or throwing. I believe in America they pass themselves off as a Irish band, but we've never heard of them over here.

Answer 9

Flogging Molly is an Irish and Irish-American band that hails from Los Angeles. They used to be the house band at a bar called Molly Malones in LA and got the nickname flogging molly as they were just flogging away gig after gig. And lo and behold, they made it. They are no Pogues (who are actually an English, Anglo-Irish band) but they're alright. The lead singer/songwriter is from Dublin, I think most of the rest are American with Irish heritage.
