More questions about Og. Includes link to the legendary Og versus Cthulhu thread.
Here’s the way I think it went down.
Og in its pre-SDMB usage signified a generic caveman’s name. It leant itself well to an image of primitive brutality. This is I think the sense in which it is used in rowrrlbazzle’s cite.
Subsequently, Og the deity was inadvertently created (or if you are a believer, revealed) here at the SDMB.
Because the Og-as-caveman meme was so strong, Og-as-deity quickly assumed attributes of limited syntax and propensity for smashiness, perhaps exacerbated by the presence of the smashy-smiley available at the temp boards.
It’s a rich tapestry.
To me, ‘God’ implies monotheism; the deity worshipped by Christians, Muslims, Jews and Baha’is (and probably some others I left out; I’m not lookin’ to offend, here). Og, on the other hand, carries implications of 'whatever deity or deities you worship, believe in, etc."
The post that started it all. (On the SDMB anyway).
And “Walloon” stands for “humorless wet blanket”.
I think that’s Gog and Magog, although I could be wrong. There’s an area near where I live named after them.
I’ve always pronounced Og (the SDMB entity) as AHG. Og, the king of Bashan (the story of the Israelites conquering his kingdom being related in Numbers 21:33-35) is properly pronounced Ohg (with a long o sound).

Don’t forget the Giant Cat, a housepet of Gog & Magog. Her name is Mog. Moggie, to her chums. 
Og and Gog are two totally different entities. Og originates from Numbers. Gog (and Magog) originate in Ezekiel (chapter 38).

The other day my wife brought home some crackers from the store. A banner on the front of the package proudly proclaimed, “Now made with 0g Trans Fat.”

Og makes the baby jesus cry.
There really is a deity named Og in Celtic pagan mythology. Og is Irish word meaning ‘young’.
