oh my God
Expression of astonishment
Oh my God is an exclamation of surprise, shock, excitement, or disbelief: Oh my God, I can't believe you're here!
The phrase ranges from genuine astonishment to casual emphasis, often compressed to OMG in texting.
Though it invokes God's name, most usage is secular.
Some speakers substitute oh my gosh or oh my goodness to avoid perceived blasphemy.
