What does Pog mean on TikTok?

The word ‘pog’ is derived from ‘pogchamp’, which refers to a streamer named Ryan Gutierrez making a shocked face.

After the video of him making this face was released, there were countless memes made of it, often mocking the shocked face.

Better Twitch TV released new emotes of the shocked meme, which was named ‘Poggers’.

Its internet has remained closely related to Twitch, but has recently gained attention on TikTok.

Some TikTok users have shortened it once again to ‘Pog’ and have started using the hashtag #pog on some of their videos.

It is normally used to express excitement or hype, but can also be used ironically to get a comedic effect.

It is not only TikTokers that use it, with famous YouTubers and other accounts also using the meme.

There are examples across all forms of Social Media sites of this being used, including TikTok, Twitter and YouTube.
