What is POG?

when people do not want to be understood, they turn perfectly fine terms like "pastel hypo" into ridiculous 3-letter-abbreviations.

POG is a three letter acronym (or three-letter abbreviation) that may stand for:

• Pediatric Oncology Group, former U.S. and Canadian clinical trial cooperative group
• Personnel Other than Grunts, pejorative military slang, also known as "pogue"
• PHP Object Generator, type of object-relational mapping software
• Pillars of Garendall, role-playing video game
• Pittsburgh Organizing Group, former Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based anarchist organization
• Planogram, visual representations of a store's products or services
• Point of Grace, all-female Contemporary Christian music group from Arkansas
• Polyphonic Octave Generator, a modulation pedal for a musical instrument
• Price of Gold, benchmark for the price of the commodity

The person who didn't want to be understood and cleverly devised the POG secret code for (P)astel (O)range (G)host is hopefully not someone who is responsible for devising secret codes.

Did not want to be understood? Orange ghost is abbreviated OG. So, it stands perfectly reasonable that P...astel OG would be abbreviated POG. Or, here's a better example. Blue Eyed Leucistic is abbreviated BEL. You know many people stand a table repeating Blue Eyed Leucistic? No, they say BEL. Just like they won't repeat Pastel Orange Ghost, but POG.

You both largely over thought that, and it shows.

if its just a marketing strategy to make orange ghost (which is just another line of regular hypo) more popular than the other perfectly fine lines of hypo, then its brilliant.

if thats not it, then its just ridiculous.

i have a few suggestions:

SOG = spider orange ghost
COG = calico orange ghost
SPOG = super pastel orange ghost
GOG = GHI orange ghost
POG = pinstripe orange ghost..... oh, wait... :weirdface:confusd:

Speaking of secret codes....people use "wtf" on here all the time. I got a warning once (or maybe it was just an edit) for using ":cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:" (crap. I just did it again). WTF?

This thread is forever old, so I don't feel too bad about interjecting with nonsense. Like, 3/10 feel bad.

Well there's at least two people on this thread who take themselves very seriously.

WTF IS "WTF"?

Oh...nevermind.

Its going in the same vein as keeping a line between butter and lesser, and other "same but not same" genes. People buy into a "line", and will buy POGs and not pastel hypos.
