Talk:OMG

Who the hell says "Oh My Goddess?"

caps
Is it ever written in all caps? I don't recall ever seeing it used like this...41.243.36.138 16:21, 10 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I use it capitalized, but yes, it is often lowercase-only. The early Wiktionary convention was to capitalize all abbreviations, acronyms and initialisms.  --Connel MacKenzie 16:26, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

oh my goodness
What about “Oh my goodness”? It seems to me that is much more common than “oh my goddess”.

Stop!
DON'T put the actual f word on there! Put f*** or f---!
 * Why? This is a dictionary.  We want to tell people what words mean, not obscure the meaning. --EncycloPetey 23:44, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Feedback: Swedish usage(s)
'''Regarding Swedish "OMG" adjective-form. ("...Abbreviation of omogen (immature)...")''' (Now, I haven't looked into the Wiktionary guidelines, so this might be superfluous.)

Never ever heard of it. The main use is the initialism-form afaik. As an initialism it's heavily used slang in Sweden, online and verbally, and with the same meaning as in English. Just mentioning because: If you know some Swedish and are about to say something using slang, I really wouldn't recommend something like... (example)


 * "OMG!!! Han är SÅ omg!"
 * ("OMG!!! He is SO immature!")

...since: If not all, most would wonder what the h*ck you're saying! :) It would be interpreted as:


 * "OMG!!! He is SO omg!" :D

If you were to encounter the English equivalent above, you too would probably wonder "What the...?!"

(Ignoring lack of adjective-form equivalent in English.) "IMT"? :P
