poggers

Poggers is an internet slang term primarily used in online gaming and streaming communities. It originates from a Twitch emote featuring the cartoon character Pepe the Frog, making a surprised or excited facial expression. The emote was created by user Gooseworx and became widely popular.

The term "poggers" is generally used as an exclamation to express excitement, surprise, or approval. It is often deployed when something impressive, unexpected, or favorable occurs within a game or stream. For example, a viewer might type "poggers" in a chat if a streamer achieves a difficult in-game feat or wins a match against tough opponents.

While the emote and its associated slang are rooted in the Pepe the Frog character, "poggers" has largely become detached from the more controversial connotations sometimes associated with Pepe. Its usage is predominantly positive and celebratory within its specific online subcultures. The term's popularity has led to its inclusion in various online gaming dictionaries and glossaries. Its prevalence signifies a common form of enthusiastic communication among online communities.
