"Cogging" and its derivatives (cog, cogger) relate to the use(
s) of the term "Pog" and their usage on the
internet, namely Twitch chat. Cogging is the antithesis of pogging - it carries an overwhelmingly negative connotation with it. The Super Smash Bros. Melee scene has appropriated the terms and use them especially to describe a player's actions both in the game and in real
life.
~To quickly describe "Pog/Pogging" (see Poggers also)~
To 'pog' in or out of game means to do something:
hype, cool,
crazy, etc. Essentially something one likes/appreciates. A person can "pog out" on somebody in-game, have a "pog" combo, or just be "pogging" in general.
~~~COGGING IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF THIS~~~
Someone cogging (a cogger) is doing something that is generally viewed as annoying, disruptive, idiotic, or just generally disapproved of. Someone with a purely campy playstyle in Melee would be considered a cogger both by observable
definition and virtue as a person. And, it's also important to distinguish the fact that a person can POG in-game yet COG miserably IRL. If you see your gamer friends cogging,
as a friend it's your job to point it out to them.
"You didn't even EARN that win you lag-switch having bitch, that was the most cog combo- Fox is fucking broken"
"Dude I'm just trying to move around the stage and warm up, stop
fucking COGGING and hitting me"
"Stephen, I don't give a fuck how late we kept you up last night quit cogging and take this shot"
"
Wes is actually pogging so
fucking hard right now but Hbox is just cogging over at ledge and won't even approach"
