“Oh…..my…..God!” This has become perhaps the most common exclamation uttered on TV these days. This, or course, assumes you leave out the “premium channels” and those cable channels that bleep words that are not bleeped on the premium channels—the “F” word no doubt the leading contender. OMG is uttered when the home makeover is revealed or the contestant learns he/she has won a new refrigerator. The shocked interviewee on the news will treat us to and OMG as she/he describes the latest good/bad event in the neighborhood, as in “Oh my God! I couldn’t believe it!”
Personally, I’m pretty tired of it. Surely there must be other ways to express surprise and delight or horror, leaving OMG to actually be a prayer.
Is there any chance we can mount a campaign against this profane use of God’s name? I guess not. I mean, OMG, it’s just so ingrained!
Sorry,
Jerry+ PS: the first class went extremely well. A good time was had by all. Stay tuned.
