Origin

The term "ZOG" is listed by the ADL^[1] as a hate symbol that stands for "Zionist Occupied Government," writing that the term "reflects the common white supremacist belief that the U.S. government is controlled by Jews."

On April 9th, 2017, an antisemitic comment was made to 4chan's^[2] /pol/ board reading, in part, "I'm just tired of waiting for all order to collapse here so I can have a hand in my own country's destiny. I'm sick of eating ZOGchow and seeing the cackling k***s rubbing their hands over their destruction." This is the earliest known use of the term, but may not be its true origin.

Goyslop

Goyslop is an antisemitic internet slang term used in reference to fast food, overly processed food, soy-based food and otherwise unhealthy food. The term combines the terms "goyim," a Jewish word for people who are not Jewish, and "slop," a term often used to criticize food as disgusting. The term implies that low-quality food is being served to the masses by the Jewish people, who are purported to control the world by antisemitic conspiracy theorists, to make them depressed, unhealthy and docile. Its first known use was on 4chan in 2019, spreading online to sites including iFunny in 2022.
