o.g. ?
- CoastalCoder 6mo agoIt's kid slang for "original", apparently.
- Jtsummers 6mo agoYeah but 10 years late to be described as the original. That said, my parents got rid of their actual OG iPad only 2-3 years ago (did not hold a charge for a long time, finally decided it was time to get one that did).
- kgwgk 6mo agoThat was my first reading but "original generation" and 2020 don't go well together.
- ssl-3 6mo agoIt's been around long enough to have gained cromulence, I think. I started using "OG" ~16 years ago to disambiguate the Motorola Droid that I had (which was the first Android phone available from Verizon) from the Droid 2, 3, and 4 that came later. "OG Motorola Droid" has specificity, while "Motorola Droid 1" is something that never existed. Anyway, my usage is old enough to drive a car. :)
- Natfan 6mo agofirst gained general use in ~1991, so 35 years ago https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/OG https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/OG are these "kids" also in the young republicans group chat?

- refulgentis 6mo agoOriginal gangsta, which has come to mean “original” with a tint of “I respect it” They’re either using loosely, as in “my first iPad Air purchased”, or tightly, as in "the original iPad Air release", which was in 2013 but could be purchased used, presumably.
