Read this...ZOMG ! ^^

[Lune Cy]

okey...this is a very random thread...dont bad rep me though..
i think most people dont know where the phrase OMG and ZOMG come from...so if you wanna know...please read ^^

The origins of the phrase ZOMG go all the way back to the Ancient Greeks.
The Ancient Greek letter Ω or "omega", was the 24th and final letter of the Greek alphabet.
it also had passed into colloquial speech as an interjection of shock and amazement. Omega meant,"the end".

In the 1970s, several overeducated ARPANET users, thinking themselves clever, started again attemped to bring back the usage of the exclamation, "OMEGA!", and they were succesful to some degree. However on October 17, 1975 a user at UCLA made the typo, "OMG! My new Altair is sweeet!". Due partly to its highly amusing pronunciation, and partly due to the bandwidth it saved, it stuck, and omg soon surpassed the popularity of omega. Other users, in an attempt to lightheartedly mock this fellow, picked up the use of "OMG!" and spread to various networks, BBSs, and ultimately the Internet.

Eventually, an underground group of internet hackers, again thinking themselves rather clever, decided to add a "Z", the final letter of the modern Roman alphabet, to the "OMG!", as a sort of nod to it's origins. This was also intended to double upon the phrase's original meaning and increase the phrase's hyperbole; rather than simply being "Ω", the end, it now meant "ZΩ", the end of ends, or the ultimate of ultimates. It was only recently discovered via newly decrypted communications that this innovation went as far back as 1992, and it stayed mostly underground until the 2000s.

So OMG doesnt mean Oh My GoD, and i really dont know what ZOMG would mean if it really was Oh My GoD, so ZOMG to that ^^

anyways...i didnt write that piece myself...im to ZOMG for that..you can probably find it somewhere on the internet...but i felt like saving you people the trouble...and never say that OMG is Oh My God,,cause if you did..that would be Oh My GoD....^^

since this is a thread...i need to ask something...who knew this..the real meaning of ZOMG?
PS: i am so wrong with what i wrote about the ZOMG meaning^^...and i thank the people who posted on this thread for making that clear to me ^^

[Asriel]

I never new that O.O..................

That just seems a little funny of how they both started up OMG,ZOMG.

[-Kitsune-]

I never really knew anything about these internet acronyms, never really paid attention to it ^.^; I always just thought ZOMG was OMG with a Z... for some undecided reason >_>

[Mei Kanami]

Ow ow ow ow ow, uncie...!
I'm a baka though, and I'm rather confused coz I'm a baka... o.O

@_@
Too many words, ouch!

But I got one thing, that OMG is not Oh My God...
It's Omega...

But it's only a little bit different about the meaning...
It expressed about the surprise feeling... XD

[Eris]

Tsk tsk, this belongs in this thread.

[Daenerys]

You are wrong, btw.

[Ikaruga]

Really, zOMG is the Web 2.0 equivalent of OMG, facilitating a cross-modal, cross-user social experience, regarded by many as just yet another acronym...

While the definition of zOMG is still hotly debated, it is generally accepted that zOMG would exhibit some basic characteristics. These include:

* Seamless integration into your Myspace account
* XML support (e.g. <zOMG>OMFG</zOMG>)
* Dynamic data processing featuring the latest AJAX technologies on the Internet

Also random facts..
* Experts say that IRC traffic on the Internets could drop by more than 25 percent if subsequent appearances of zOMG could be compressed
* zOMG is a corruption of OMG, which means "oh my god."

[Akira Kogami[LC]]

I don't think thats right :3

[PanzerJager]

Tsk tsk, this belongs in this thread.

Nah.. this lie isn't even believable.. To make it perfectly clear:


OMG = Oh My God

ZOMG = Oh My God with a pointless Z at the beginning..


Edit:

Where did you find this.. uhh.. misinformation?

[Akira Kogami[LC]]

I thought ZOMG =ZO my god.

[Coco Cake]

Wow, lol. I always wondered where alotta things like " OMG" and " Lol " and such came from. That is quite interesting, lol. So it was adapted from that, and torn and used in a different way, with a slightly different meaning. I got the gist of it, but it is still rather confusing. x_x Lol.

[Twig Ee]

I never thought there would be that much history behind OMG

[bug]

That was worth the read. I wonder what would happen if everyone heard about it. Would they really stop using OMG as Oh my god. I kinda doubt it. Anyway, thanks for sharing it with us.

[Lune Cy]

ZOMG to the people that still say OMG is Oh My GoD !

i dont get it...the thread i posted should be enough to convince people that OMG isnt Oh My God..
because...what the hell means the Z infront OMG ?! iF OMG meant Oh My God
the people that say its just a Z....ZOMG to that !
the thread clearly shows where it comes from and what it really means..

Lainkiss, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I should inform you OP, whoever you are, that I'm not reading it out of spite. I have no idea what this thread is about, but I felt I needed to inform you of my noncompliance.

Hm...its believable Lain...because if OMG meant "Oh My God", it wouldn't make sense since people use OMG in situations where they are shocked about something. And as you said that Omega "also had passed into colloquial speech as an interjection of shock and amazement." and it was typoed(sp?) into OMG (damn those evil typos). And I think if the meaning of OMG was "Oh My God" it wouldn't make sense...especially now that you say this stuff that i didn't know before (especially since I don't know Greek alphabets and lots of history) about it and Omega and Oh My God sound similar...seriously...add a D to the end of Omega...it would sound similar you know...Also...I don't know why people put a "Z" in front of OMG...>_>; don't ask me...I don't use ZOMG and I don't even think I use OMG much either...do I? o.O;
