Poggers 😄

Poggers is an emote that you’ll find plastered across Twitch chat screens. The term was born from an earlier emote called “PogChamp,” which expressed excitement or surprise. It features a screenshot from the YouTube video “Ryan Gutierrez IT’S F*CKIN’ RAW” where Chef Gordon Ramsay’s face is well, let’s say, rather expressive. The emote quickly became popular, often used to capture the hilarious and unexpected moments on Twitch.

What Poggers is Not 🙅‍♀️

To avoid confusion and potential facepalms, it’s important to note what Poggers is not. Despite its similar name, Poggers has nothing to do with a collection of small, circular milk caps from the ‘90s known as “Pogs” (estranged cousins of the Slammers and Alf theme song). Poggers is exclusively an expression of wild enthusiasm and surprise in the digital realm.

The Power of Poggers 💪

No ordinary emote can compete with the sheer power of Poggers. When something mind-blowingly amazing or incredibly funny happens, you can’t help but Poggers all over your screen. This emote carries a wave of excitement so strong that it can even make your pet goldfish do a backflip! 🐟

Poggers as a Social Currency 💰

Like any great currency, Poggers has value. In the Twitch community, the more Poggers an event or stream is, the better. It’s like the equivalent of receiving a million high-fives from the coolest people in the world. Those who receive the most Poggers are considered legends in the virtual realm.

Misadventures of Poggers 🤪

As with most internet phenomena, Poggers embarked on some unexpected adventures. It became so popular that Poggers-colored glasses were invented to enhance the enjoyment of any livestream. Unfortunately, users quickly realized they couldn’t see anything beyond the color purple, making winning any games nearly impossible.

Furthermore, a group of scientists attempted to harness the power of Poggers to fuel a spaceship. They failed miserably after realizing Poggers is an emotion and not a combustible fuel source. 💥🚀
