Taking pictures is now "Togging", a photographer a "Togger" and a professional photographer is a "Protog".

Anyone else dislike this or am I just too old and crusty for my own good?

Thought they made cars?

Very good Chris Genuine question though........it all sounds very pretentious to me

Crusty you may be, but I totally agree with your sentiment.

Hey Goose,

Just throttle back and it'll fly right past !!

It's just a term that has developed, abit like birdies are called Twitchers. I quite like it, Togging sounds ok. Better than Anorak, nerd etc

But again everyone to there own, it is like jets, all have official name and nickname -Tornado/Tonka, Typhoon/Tiffie, hawk/scooter etc etc

Roll with is Goose!

Busy day in the office then Goose?
Im sure we've all been known as worse, and it has a kind of ring to it.
I don't mind being a 'togger (Oh damn, typo error, wrong thread, - wrong forum...)

I agree lets ban the word from this site, I hate stupid acronyms.

Isn't it more of an abbreviation rather than an acronym?

Don't mind it myself.. Whats peoples thoughts on 'Chimping' though?

I had to Google that one Mark, I think we're all guilty of that though.

SSSSHHHH you're giving away your secrets

Oh well if nothing else I've stimulated a bit of a debate

i like the phrase, but im young and against the current,

as others stated, better than nerd / anorak

I'm not a fan of the terms either!

No it is not Mark, it's more of the fact people cannot spell Photographer.

Togger sounds like one of those night time lay-by watchers

Not a fan of the name and would not liked to be labeled with the said name.

I disike them intensly. Not a fan of "Waddo" either!

Yeah but.. FBI or CIA is an acronym or one of the civil service favorites, TLA (Three letter acronym..) Togger, really isn't an acronym in any sense of the word..

Lay-by watcher... Theres a very famous lay-by in my neck of the woods (so i'm told. Cough cough..)

Thought everyone knew wot a TOG was .... Sure it had been trademarked some 20 years ago . Guess you are all too young to have listened to Radio 2 or the ''Light Programme '' .
Guess I was one of '' Terry's Old Geezers '' before I retired . But Sir Terry Wogan is occasionally still on the airwaves , 'tho I did miss him when he came on the Archers .. lost reception on 198 khz about Copenhagen way whilst East bound

Probably used by the same people who over use the word 'banter'.

Not to mention "brutal banter", a phrase that I am totally sick of - not to mention "Tiffie" (as mentioned before) - how do you get Tiffie out of Typhoon ?
