when people do not want to be understood, they turn perfectly fine terms like "pastel hypo" into ridiculous 3-letter-abbreviations.
wikipedia says:
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
yeah, well, no pastel hypo here.
The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it. If you disagree, send me a PM.
The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.

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.

Re: What is POG?
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...

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.

Re: What is POG?
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.
