The Brief: Pog is an online term used for emphasis and/or to display enthusiasm.
DEEP DIVE
In the world of eSports, Pog is used to represent excitement. The internet term became popular on Twitch and has now become integrated into Millennial and Gen Z slang.
Specifically, the term “Pog” refers to the Twitch emote known as “PogChamp” which features Gootecks from the web series CrossCounterTV. A “Pog move” or a “Pog moment” is something worthy of receiving the PogChamp emote in a Twitch chat.
