pogchamp

Its an Emote on Twitch.tv thats usually is supposed to symbolize hype or excitment

Let me give you the complete etymology of this compound slang word.

It is correct that the first part of this word, POG, refers to the abbreviation for "play of the game". {Source: Wikipedia}

And so hence, Pogchamps would technically (and was probably intended to) refer to someone who is so good at a game that they always get POG.

However, gradually, this term has cultivated a new meaning for members of the streaming website Twitch.tv.

Now, Pogchamps exists as a versatile Twitch emote used to convey something or someone that is awesome and cool.
The first part of this term, pog, is also commonly used as an adjective or interjection to convey feelings of shock, excitement, and delight.

There is also now a online Chess tournament called PogChamps.

A Twitch.TV emote used to symbolize hype. Originally featuring an image of Gootecks, the name comes from a gameshow he used to host centered around the use of 'Milk Caps' or 'Pogs' in a game sharing the same name. In late 2020 the decision was made to change the image due to tweets from Gootecks that Twitch did not want to associate themselves with.

It does not mean 'Play of the Game' as the usage of this phrase was largely non-existent until the release of Overwatch in 2016, which PogChamp predates.

The use of 'POGGERS' and other variations of 'POG' are typically derivates of this one emote with their own emote via the FrankerFacez or BetterTwitchTV extensions.

While it used to be of the man Ryan Gutierrez, his tweets lead to his emote, PogChamp, getting removed on twitch. Now, however, twitch have made the emote different everyday; something they're calling the daily PogChamp.
