Origin of Poggers: PogChamp
The “Poggers” emote has been around since 2017. It was inspired by that “PogChamp” emote that through a YouTube video got known. Here youTuber Ryan “Gootecks” Gutierrez makes the iconic expression with his mouth wide open as part of the show “Cross Counter TV”.
“Pog” stands for “Play of Game” and “Champ”, which is the short form of “Champion”. It is also used to comment on exciting situations. The “PogChamp” meme appeared for the first time in 2009 in a 4chan thread. Since it was recorded as a global Twitch emote three years later, it has spread around the world.
