If you are an avid sports fan and enjoy watching Esports tournaments or exciting game announcements, you will need to understand what one of the most popular emotes in this area, COGGERS, means.
COGGERS is a Pepe-themed Twitch emote inspired by the PogChamp emote. Whenever you're involved in a sports stream, you'll most likely need to know how to use this emote and need to have it on hand. So while staying up to day on games or watching intense streamer highlights and outplays, the COGGERS emote should be on your radar. This post unpacks the meaning and origin of this expression.
Meaning
COGGERS are animated Twitch emotes used to express excitement or pleasant surprise. It is a version of the Poggers emote. This COGGERS emote is also Pepe-themed, showing Pepe with a surprised expression. It is a portmanteau, or blend of two words, POGGERS and COG. COGGERS have the face of Poggers, stretched into a cog formation, and its animation comically spins to the left.
The COGGERS emote is also used when a streamer does something exciting like beating a demanding boss in a game. Chat members can also use the emote to show shock and surprise.
For example, if the streamer did manage to beat the boss, you could use COGGERS to show you're shocked he pulled that off. You will usually see this emote spammed during hype moments in streams. Anytime you need to express extreme excitement, COGGERS should be the first emote you choose. It isn't as popular as other Pepe the Frog emotes on Twitch, but it is popular on Reddit because of its animation. More information can be found in the video (here).
Example Usage
"The Yu-Gi-Oh tournament is starting in 5 minutes! COGGERS."
"No way! He just beat the final boss! COGGERS."
"I can't believe he managed to pull that off! COGGERS."
"I'm so excited right now! COGGERS."
“Yo! My whole team arrived and is on time, COGGERS to that eh!”
Origin
Like the other Pepe the Frog variations, the true origin of COGGERS is traced back to Matt Furie when he uploaded his Boys Club comic featuring Pepe the Frog on his MySpace, along with PogChamp, one of the oldest emotes on Twitch. PogChamp was uploaded on Twitch in 2015, featuring the face of stream Ryan "Gootecks" Gutierrez. Variations of the PogChamp emote included POG and POGGERS as the Twitch emote rose in popularity. From there, COGGERS was born.
By 2018, the COGGERS emote was uploaded to FrankerFaceZ by user voparoS, following the animated version's upload to BetterTTV the previous year. COGGERS is often spanned with POGGERS but isn't nearly as popular as its predecessor. In the past three years, it has been enabled on over 22,000 Twitch Channels; making it into the top 100 most used Twitch emotes. However, PogChamp, the emote that inspired COGGERS, was banned by Twitch in January of 2021 due to Ryan "Gootecks" Gutierrez's controversial tweets regarding the U.S. Capitol attacks.
