I think it refers to the plastic and/or paper decorative circle/disc that goes under the cap.
I do think this would extend to the side covers/caps for some YYJ’s, Freakhands/FH2’s and similar.
I think in the case of something like the ONE, it would be the cardboard disc UNDER the clear plastic cap.

The term comes from way way back in time before most of you were born. Read all about it here: [Milk caps (game) - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogs)

They used to be really popular in Mexico when I was very little. I remember last year when I was [equivalent in mexico to] a sophmore, some kids where still playing with them at my school. I used to play them when I was in elementary school. They used to come in Lays chips bags. Mucha Lucha was the series that came out when I still played with them, more recently WWE. They were called “Tazos” in mexico
