    I can't even tell if poggers is a verb or an adjective. I'm not old enough to be this out of touch goddammit! And what the fuck is a pogchamp for that matter? shakes fist at cloud

      It’s just a happy exclamation at this point. If something is poggers it’s good. If you do something cool you say poggers etc. Apparently it originates when some streamer or something was playing a game called Pog or something with people and he won and was the pog champ. But I’m not 100% tbh

        In theory, PogChamp and its derivatives (oh which there are many) are a response to a hype play. If you're watching a fighting game and your comrade survives a combo with 1 hp and then ends up winning, that's poggers. If the streamer starts playing a game you like, that's pog af.

        However, if streamer is saying something you disagree with, that's PogO. If they're being weird, you hit em with a WeirdChamp. If they continue being weird, that's a 4WeirdW (a combination of 4Head, WeirdChamp, and sodaW). It gets rather involved and open to interpretation. It's also a massive waste of time and I am cursed with this knowledge because I really enjoy the background noise.

        Edit: the most involved I've ever seen it become is peepoPogClimbingTreeHard4House and my understanding of this 8 layer meme ensures my entrance into hell one day.

      I'm old enough to think it has to do with small round pieces of decoratively designed cardboard for trading.
