I took O-chem; never heard of orgo. And O-chem wasn't that hard.
Indeed, orgo sounds more like an abbreviation for something that might happen in your bedroom on a lucky night.
I never found it hard to just say "organic chem" (though I usually called analytical chemistry "anal chem", despite the fact that I loved it). And while many students do seem to spend a lot of time memorising things, I found that by spending enough time actually thinking about chemistry, I quite suddenly "got it", and it made sense without having to memorise anything more than a few names of common types of compound.
