O1G is a meme that became a political symbol of the public protests against the government leadership of Viktor Orbán of Hungary. O1G is an acronym of the country-wide popular term Orbán egy geci, which roughly translates to Orbán is a motherfucker in English, with egy meaning both one (hence the 1 in the abbreviation), as well as the article a. The word geci is a vulgar term for semen, widely used in slang to describe an especially unpleasant person.[2] The abbreviation has become a communication tool in international politics, after Guy Verhofstadt, the leader of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Group of European Parliament, used the #O1G hashtag in a Twitter message supporting the Hungarian anti-government demonstrations.[3]

Geci's meaning in general [in this context] is 'malicious, evil, conniving' - probably used by Simicska in this meaning as well.
