omg

Digital holy cow

Omg is a casual written expression of surprise, excitement, or disbelief—short for "oh my god." Common in texting and social media: omg I can't believe she said that, omg this is amazing.

The lowercase form feels more offhand than the emphatic all-caps version. (All-caps OMG is the more emphatic form.)
