Why is it called PostHog anyways?
- vasco 1y agoIf only there was a tool for finding answers to our questions: https://posthog.com/docs/posthog-direction#:~:text=PostHog%20was%20born.-,Why%20the%20name%3F,'Hog'%20comes%20from%20hedgehogs. https://posthog.com/docs/posthog-direction#:~:text=PostHog%2...

- schwartzworld 1y agoI don’t think that’s the full answer. Post Hog is internet parlance for “upload a picture of your penis”. Someone had a sense of humor when they picked that name.
- thih9 1y agoI’m unfamiliar with the slang but even without it the name is weird. The “hog” alone would never make me think of a hedgehog instead of a regular hog. > a domesticated pig, especially a castrated male reared for slaughter https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/hog https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/hog
- wink 1y agoAh, "spotted hog", as my English teacher (6th grade or so?, ESL) had said: for some reason this is one term most pupils will remember, no matter how unimportant. Guess he was right, or maybe a self-fulfilling prophecy.
- joshdavham 1y agoI used chatGPT to ask this question at first and it spat out nonsense so I just decided to pose the question here haha. I guess I should've just RTFM'd as they say.
