Lots of mention of the word orgo here but the terminology may not be colloquial everywhere. Before college, I hung out on the premed forums and then told my peers about “orgo”. They were confused and corrected me that I meant “ochem”.


When writing for a general audience we should all avoid local or subject related slang.


both terms are widely used. sneakers and tennis shoes, soda and pop.
