A fork of Rural Dictionary
Commonly misunderstood as a term which stands for "Original Gangster," this versatile phrase (and it IS a phrase) actually means "Original Garvey," referring, of course, to Marcus Garvey- both the national hero of Jamaica and the founder of Pan-African activism later dubbed "Garveyism." The term "O.G." is used to describe a situation, object, or person who is slick, fortunate, above par, or of course, original. In essence, having resemblance or similarities to Garvey himself. (the Rastafarian Movement considers him a prophet)
Dead Prez: "This shit is O.G. This shit is O.G. Original Garvey Nigga!"
Dude #1: What happened to Kwaze-Murder after them jakes started shooting at'em?
Dude #2: nah. Kwaze straight-up pulled out the semi and blasted every which one of them lil' piglets.
Dude #1: That shit is O.G.
Unlike the more commonly used unabbreviated term "Original Gangster", this alternate definition refers to "Original Gypsy" meaning anyone that exhibits prowess in the ways of the gypsy (slight of hand, sticky fingers, trickery, cunning, charming, etc.)
He is such an O.G. (original gypsy), he called comcast and convinced them he was switching to direct tv so they gave him 30 bucks off his bill each month plus 3 months of stars for free!
