A reaction expressing excitement, hype, or amazement at something impressive happening on stream. Short for 'PogChamp', the original Twitch emote of streamer Ryan 'Gootecks' Gutierrez pulling a stunned face. 'Pog' is typed when an emote isn't available or as a generic verbal/text reaction. It has fully crossed over from Twitch into Discord, Reddit gaming subs, and general Gen Z speech to mean 'awesome / cool / let's go'. Often spammed ('POG POG POG') or stretched ('POOOOG') when a clutch play happens.
A Twitch emote and expression of excitement, originally short for "PogChamp" — the face of streamer Ryan "Gootecks" Gutierrez pulling a surprised expression. Now used as a standalone word in chat ("pog", "poggers", "pogchamp") whenever something hype happens — a clutch play, a big donation, a returning streamer.
When regular poggers just isn't enough to capture the scale of the moment, you reach for mega poggers. This is reserved for plays, reveals, and events so jaw-dropping that the normal hype vocabulary collapses under the weight. Mega poggers is the chat reaction to a world record being shattered, a legendary return, or a plot twist that rewires your entire understanding of a story. It's superlative stacking done right — not hyperbole for its own sake, but genuine acknowledgment that whatever just happened exceeded all reasonable expectations.
