Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between pog and poggers?

They mean the same thing — an expression of excitement or approval. Poggers is the more elaborated, jokier form and works better as a standalone reaction, while pog also works as an adjective, as in "that's pog".

What does pog mean in gaming?

It is a reaction to an impressive play or exciting news, roughly equivalent to "wow, amazing". It spread from Twitch chat into gaming culture generally and is now used well outside streaming.

Are pogs the cardboard discs or the slang word?

Both, and they are unrelated in meaning. The 1990s pogs were collectible cardboard caps used in a playground game; the slang pog is a modern internet exclamation.
