Classic Paugh -4 (Origins of Paugh)
The beginnings of Paugh as a word begin in the home of the Teagues. They would have spontaneous wrestling matches between the brothers... who knows why... but the ultimate move was the Ruprecht. The Ruprecht is a move more subtler than judo, in which instead of using force, you just drape your arms over your opponent limply and let out a long stream of "paaaaauuuuuughghhhghhhhhhhhh" . This would immediately win the match, as the opponent curls into a little ball to escape the terrible paugh slam.
The Ruprecht derives its name from the movie Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, in which Steve Martin plays a character of the same name. A careful analysis of his behavior is what unlocked the deadly art of paugh in combat. Good ol' Steve - a man of cunning.
Classic Paugh -3 (A Lesson in Paugh)
The mistake most people make about paugh is that they try to disentangle paugh from the effects of paugh - but the two are intricately intertwined. The essence of paugh lies in a deep draining of energy ("paughing out") from those who become exposed to something paugh, combined with a touch of normalcy. Paugh is not just random funny things nor things that make people pass out - so an anesthetic delivering troupe of clowns does not necessarily have to be paugh. It is a subtle art.
