"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"
