OG does not mean Original, by kultur on Jan 28, 2014 18:56:54 GMT 1, Why do so many people use "OG" for original, when they do not mean the same thing?
If anything, OG means Original Gangster.
Please for the sake of appearing to know something - spell out the word original.

OG does not mean Original, by lifeonwalls on Jan 28, 2014 19:14:55 GMT 1, One of my pet peeves as well.
Some will argue that it means 'original graphic' but just spare yourself the embarrassment and use the entire word.
Please?

Apparently it is now proper English to say axe instead of ask - so who knows.

"Dude, bro, I just scored a Dal OG. Whoa cool bro, that OG will be sick next to your shitty Phish concert poster collection."

Why, just out of interest, is using og for original more irritating than all the other abbreviations regularly used on here? Amen. And kultur (how annoying is even typing culture spelled this way), if enough people use OG to mean original, then it means original, whether you like it or not. There are numerous references of slang terms, even abbreviations, that are so commonly used that they become a recognized part of a language. OK? See what I did there? LOL |

I just spotted the Jose McCoy bit. She is a fabulous artist.
Someone on here has portraits of his daughters done by her, which are lovely. Very talented artist.

People seem to see it on here and think it is a thing... it is not a thing as it really doesnt make sense.
If anyone wants to use it... fine... go for it. I would like to see a gallery list a piece as OG

I think the whole 'axe' thing is actually people with learning difficulties. Anyone of sound mind can normally grasp 3 lettered words

I would like to see a gallery list a piece as OG Thanks kultur. You see, I may have led a sheltered life, but I have never known it to mean anything else. When I was a newbie here, I saw it used and asked what it meant. Some kind soul told me it meant original, and I confess that I have used it myself since then to mean that. As treweman says, if everyone on here understands it to be that (as apose to suggesting their painting is a little gangster) I would say it becomes part common forum parlance and that's fine with me. Not sure what Mark is referring to above. Don't recall anyone using it in that way. Anyway, I'm crapping on a bit, and you may think I'm more bothered by this than I actually am. Each to their own I say. It's all just an antidote really. For real life or for not being able to buy an Os Gemeos print? I'm not too sure. |

As I said just education... it does not mean what they think it means... insert Princess Bride quote. As an open forum I am trying to express something and some people will agree and some wont. I am not telling people not to use it, but I would appreciate it if they wouldnt LOL Asking kindly... Please

With much respect, I am afraid that I have no idea what this sentence means. Perhaps that is your point.

OG does not mean Original, by Deleted on Jan 28, 2014 22:01:01 GMT 1, When I first joined the board, I thought this was quite strange as it is clearly not a term used in the wider art world.
I always thought people were too lazy to write ORG or ORIG as a shortened way to write original. I chalked it up to the people wanting it to sound more "street" ??
So at the end of the day I take it as a tongue in cheek and not serious gangster terms. Have you seen some of these members in person? Gangster? Not so much...

OG does not mean Original, by Happy Shopper on Jan 28, 2014 22:01:33 GMT 1, OMG WTF!?!
Are you assuming that people don't know OG means Original Gangster?
Maybe some use it without realising!?
I think it did start as a joke on EB or Kidrobot Forum perhaps.
I wouldn't lose sleep over it though. I think it's pretty funny in a stupid type way!
