Here\u2019s a breakdown of what it means:\n\n---\n\n**What \u201cOG\u201d stands for and where it comes from**  \n- OG is short for *\u201cOriginal Gangster\u201d*. It comes from US street and hip-hop culture, especially from Los Angeles in the 1970s. ([airdroid.com](https://www.airdroid.com/teen-slang/og-meaning/?utm_source=openai))  \n- While \u201cgangster\u201d was the literal meaning originally, over time \u201cOG\u201d moved into mainstream usage, and people use it today in a much broader, non-literal way. ([meaningbear.com](https://meaningbear.com/og-meaning-in-internet-slang/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n**What \u201cOG\u201d means in everyday slang now**  \nWhen someone says \u201che is the OG (something),\u201d it generally means:\n\n- That person is \u201coriginal\u201d or among the first in a certain role or group. ([dictionary.cambridge.org](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/og?utm_source=openai))  \n- They are authentic or have earned respect. ([usdictionary.com](https://usdictionary.com/definitions/og/?utm_source=openai))  \n- They\u2019ve been around for a long time, have a lot of experience, or were there at the start of something (e.g. a game, show, trend). ([meaningsloop.com](https://meaningsloop.com/og-meaning-in-internet-slang/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n**In the phrase \u201cthe OG traitor\u201d**  \nHere, calling someone \u201cthe OG traitor\u201d means the person is seen as the original traitor\u2014perhaps the first one to betray in the context of the show, or the one who set the example of traitoring. It\u2019s a way of signaling they are the most classic, respected (or infamous) version of traitor.\n\n---\n\nSo, in short: \u201cOG\u201d is basically a compliment or acknowledgment of someone being original, foundational, respected\u2014or in this case\u2014*infamously* foundational in betraying."
