Frogger is an internet slang term used to describe a person who persistently jumps from one online conversation or topic to another without fully engaging or adding any valuable contribution. Instead, they often divert the attention away from the original topic by introducing unrelated subjects or shifting the discussion focus. This behavior is reminiscent of the popular retro video game “Frogger,” in which the player navigates a frog across traffic by hopping between moving obstacles.
Examples:
1. During an online gaming forum discussion:
User1: Can anyone recommend a good strategy game for PC?
User2: Definitely, you should try “Game X”; it has amazing graphics and immersive gameplay.
User3 (Frogger): Speaking of graphics, have you guys seen the trailer for the new “Game Y”? It’s mind-blowing!
User1: Um, thanks, User3, but we were discussing “Game X” here. Let’s stay on topic.
2. In a social media group chat:
User1: I just finished reading this fantastic book, highly recommend it!
User2: Oh, is it a thriller or a romance?
User3 (Frogger): Personally, I prefer watching movies rather than reading books. Do you guys have any film recommendations?
User1: User3, this is about books, not movies. Please don’t frogger the conversation.
