But what's considered as an OG account? Age? Short handle? Something that isn't imaginative or a portmanteau of something?

I remember the ICQ days where the shorter your ICQ number, you are the OG of OG's..

OG refers to precedence due to age. It also tends to correlate with short names, but that's just because people like short names - and so short names are registered earlier and thus are older.
