OMG!

OMG!  Stop with the OMG already!  This exclamation is everywhere, on television, in every movie, on the streets, on children's playgrounds.

OMG began as a shortcut for cell phone texting and is the exclamation of surprise, "Oh ... my ... God!'

I have tried to explain to a frequent user of the phrase why Christians find this to be offensive but it just flew right by their understanding. It is a trivialization of the Holy Name, taking the name of God to the same level as vulgarities and profanities.
