You're both right. As far as I know, cogs are the teeth on a gear and sprockets are gears that mesh with chains rather than other gears.
Winter has a ways to go.

Each tooth is a cog, the whole thing is a sprocket. Old timers at the shop I worked at in high school would have called them "cog-teeth" and "sprocket-wheel."

Just watched 8 Mile so I thought I'd break it down for you all
Yo yo, spin that sh_t
Sprocket:
Sounds funny but don't knock it
You'll lose it all if you don't lock it
and without one you'll just walk it
but when you're fixed you will rock it
like a power plug in a socket
put them greens in yo pocket...
Cog:
Like a lyin witness in the docket
ain't no matter how you talk it
on the street you cannot hawk it
and the fixers will just mock it
till in the end you will say fock it...
word.

Cogs a cool word though. I'm gonna keep using it for the little spiky thing on the back wheel. ⚙️
My multi geared bike gets sprockets all round.

Sprocket, sprocket, sprocket, sprocket, sprocket, sprocket. Wow, that's a weird word. It sounds Victorian? "That's a fine sprocket you've gotten us into."

It's a sprocket, not a cog
Correct. Furthermore, it's also not a gear. So everyone is actually riding a fixed sprocket bike... except the cool kids, they're all rolling sprockies.
