Believe It or Not – “OMG” Is Old Valley Speak …
Old valley, fer sure, fer sure …
If you guessed its first recorded usage of OMG was from 1917 by British Admiral of the Fleet John Arbuthnot “Jacky” Fisher, 1st Baron Fisher of Kilverstone – you win a scone! So, apparently he was Lord God king bu-fu.
Read about it here at the History New Network.
Okay, fine, fer sure, fer sure.
There’s a music video of Moon Unit’s Valley Girl – the Admiral’s video is here …
For anyone bored enough to sit through “2001: A Space Odyssey”, some of the monitors in background have displays such as “OMG”, “COM”, and other 3-character words some might be familiar with.
