what's "poggers" mean?
Awesome/wow. Comes from twitch community of a frog meme people called pog. The frog with like a wow expression was named poggers on Twitch so people use the phrase to mean that face/emoji
Wow, even less interesting than I expected
You say that but it is a very unique etymology. The last 30 years have some very unique terms that wasn't a previous language derived term but has internet culture lore or even just a small subset culture reference.
Like the words glom and hawk tua are going to be some interesting explaining in 20 years
