The LG stands for'Life's Good'.

It came into being in 1995 when the Korean 'Lucky Star' company reinvented themselves and changed it.

SNOBS

An old word used to describe the UPPER CRUST!
It derived when scholarships were awarded to clever children to attend Oxford or Cambridge years and years ago. The vast majority of students were from the Nobility. The Nobility were referred to as the Nobs consequently their sons were referred to as SNOBS.
THE SONS OF NOBILITY.

Under dog,
When timber used to be cut,with a saw,before mechanical means,
One man stud on top, while another man stood in the saw pit, he was the under dog with all the crap falling on him, the man on top, kept clean hence top dog
