ogg /og/ v. cmu 1. in the multi-player space combat game netrek, to
   execute kamikaze attacks against enemy ships which are carrying armies
   or occupying strategic positions. named during a game in which one of
   the players repeatedly used the tactic while playing orion ship g,
   showing up in the player list as "og". this trick has been roundly
   denounced by those who would return to the good old days when the tactic
   of dogfighting was dominant, but as sun tzu wrote, "what is of supreme
   importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy, not his tactics."
   however, the traditional answer to the newbie question "what does ogg
   mean?" is just "pick up some armies and i'll show you." 2. in other
   games, to forcefully attack an opponent with the expectation that the
   resources expended will be renewed faster than the opponent will be able
   to regain his previous advantage. taken more seriously as a tactic since
   it has gained a simple name. 3. to do anything forcefully, possibly
   without consideration of the drain on future resources. "i guess i'd
   better go ogg the problem set that's due tomorrow." "whoops i looked
   down at the map for a sec and almost ogged that oncoming car."
