I give up - I checked on trusty Google but I found so many meanings for "sip" and "wot" that I'm still none the wiser. - for sip it seems it can mean anything from yep to something to do with praying to a scientific instrument package... please enlighten me... it's no doubt a generational thing - I gave up on w0t (Americans failing to sound posh?? or pertaining to "propanoic acid". FYI I'm still struggling with IMO but I've mastered OMG and LOL.

The Etymology of Poggers
So most people know the term from Twitch where it was popularized as the abbreviation of an emote by the streamer "Gootecks" called Pogchamp. Pogchamp itself is older however, being the contraction of "Pogs Champion(ship)" which were tournaments of a game called -- you guessed it -- "Pogs". Pogs was a brand name of a trading game called Milk Caps played in the early-mid 90s. Furthermore the brand Pog comes from P.O.G. fruit juice, made of Passionfruit juice, Orange juice and Guava juice. So Poggers can trace it's lineage back to P.O.G. juice
