Anyone else hate "TOG"

<p>You can always use capacitance and inductance to filter it. :-) </p>

<p>Sort of related news- Has anyone considered buying Twitter stock, since it debuted on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday? http://www.forbes.com/sites/nathanvardi/2013/11/08/welcome-to-wall-street-twitters-stock-falls/</p>

<p>'Og' is good. 'ger' is better. No, I'm typing on a keyboard. The thumb thing makes me antsy. Time is precious. Besides, my usage was in reference to the rock stars of the industry. It served to emphasize their hipness.</p>

<p>Definitely, but many innovations go out of favor and disappear. I hope "tog" does.</p>

[Rick Helmke]

<p>I thought it was stupid when it referred to clothes. Used in this context hasn't improved it. Mark is right sort of. Language does evolve but sometimes it's merely butchered.</p>

<p>I've only seen the word used on web forums. I don't know a single professional shooter that uses it. I'm shooting in situations with a lot of other pros and never once heard it used. Seems to be a newbie thing (heh.)</p>

[pbalko]

<p>I refuse to be drawn any further into defending the indefensible position I assumed simply because I was too lazy to think in four syllables instead of one. Have at it ladies.</p>

I don't like tog but I think photog is perfectly OK.

[sarah_fox]

<p>Would the pejorative form be "toggot," referring to anyone who takes photos of children without permission?</p>

<p>And does KR now have a tog blog?</p>

[James G. Dainis]

This is the first time I have seen "tog". I guess I lead a sheltered life. Back in eastern Massachusetts where there were a lot of cranberry bogs, we would call a local resident a "bogger". Instead of calling someone a tog, calling them a togger would sound better, at least to me, but I guess that would take too many thumbs.

<p>Never in Australia.! TOGS are swimwear, bathing costume, budgie smugglers, speedos, banana bags, etc.<br>

Never photographers.!</p>

<p>It's interesting to read the Wall Street analysts' opinions. Reminds me of a quote from Warren Buffett: "Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway."</p>

<p>If they take pictures with their Androids and such, are they togging on the phone?</p>

[pjmeade]

<p>For me, it's on a par with snapper :-O~~~~~#<br>

Love fauxtog; would that be HDR?</p>

[keith reeder]

<p>Tog (or <strong>'tog </strong>- to avoid confusion with Aussie swimwear) is as good a piece of shorthand as any.</p>

[sallymack]

<p>If digital photographer - fauxtog (love it!), what would be film tog?<br>

According to Dan, FOG would = Fashion Photographer. --Sally</p>

[paul_de_ley]

<p>Other than the fact that it's a monosyllabic soundalike of words like frog, hog and bog, I don't see anything wrong with tog.</p>

[dan_south]

<blockquote>

</blockquote>

<p>Yes, HDR is definitely faux-tography. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Yes, especially if their phone has the Push-to-Tog feature.</p>

<p> Brilliant!</p>

[bobatkins]

<p>I always preferred the term "shutterbugger" myself. To long to tweet though.</p>

[bob_bill]

<p>It's why I always my photo togs when togging. </p>
