Phonge

Phonge is a popular 7TV emote that depicts a green frog character (a variant of Pepe the Frog) holding a telephone or mobile phone. The emote's name is a playful combination of "phone" and possibly "Pog" or "Pepe," creating the unique name "Phonge."

The emote is used to represent being "on the phone" or connected digitally in a humorous way. It's a quirky, technology-themed variation of the widely recognized Pepe character that has become a staple in Twitch culture.
