Pogs are cool little disks

Then it became a children’s verb

[–] megopie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 hours ago

The new term does derive directly from the old disk game, and the disk game derives its name from a juice beverage that originated the disks as part of the caps.

Pog might be the most diversely derived words in the English language, it being an acronym of the words Pineapple, Orange and Guava. Pineapple being derived from apple which comes out of Germanic languages, orange coming out of the Dravidian languages of south India, and guava coming out of the Arawakan languages of South America. These three language families share no known common ancestry.
