From the context, I assumed it was the original. Thanks.

Yes, that's what it means when I used it as well.
I thought OG stood for Original Gangster.

That is why I try to place my abbreviations in parentheses the first time I use them in a thread, or within several dozen posts. For instance: "I have never held the original (OG) Freedom Visa card."

While it does take a bit more time for the poster, it saves hundreds of hours for readers cumulatively, in research, confusion, misunderstanding, or unanswered curiosity. 💚
