The phrase was coined in the 1970s by the Los Angeles-based Crips gang whose members self-identified as the OGs, or the first gangsters to emerge. OG and “original gangster” come from African-American Vernacular English or AAVE. RELATED: What Does "GOAT" Mean, and How Do You Use It? The History of OG and Original Gangsters For example, you would call friends who’ve been by your side since childhood to be OGs. You can also use OG to refer to friends or personal relationships, particularly people who have stayed authentic with you over a long period. In this use case, OG is synonymous with GOAT, or “greatest of all time.” You might say “Tiger Woods is an OG” to refer to his excellence in the field of golf, for example. OG can also mean “exceptional” or the best in a particular field.
