For older persons, past the age of puberty at least, those are probably restricted to making the occasional mockery of the younger folk for whom this sort of thing is just another casual idiom. Among those children, however, owing to the prevalence of the abbreviation and the universal apprehension of its meaning, I don’t consider “omg,” when spoken aloud, to be any more objectionable than a contraction. So long as the younger generations remain capable of verbal formality when the situation calls for it, I find it difficult to judge any evolution of the language categorically; and if any generation may be found incapable, the blame lies with the parents and educators rather than with the casual language of the day.

@Mireia, I know, that video is insane. But it’s good to know exactly what’s out there, isn’t it? At least once in a while…and if you look at Dan’s comment I think there he shows the slippery slope between using it for fun and “crossing the boundary,” as he says.

@Gabriel, I think you’re right. We’re constantly looking for ways to simplify language, facilitate faster speech. It doesn’t mean it’s attractive, though. Or do you think it’s laudable?

@Ken, I think the key is in Gabriel’s observation that it would “probably be naive to assume that this was the uttermost depth to which the spoken language could possibly be sunk.” At least we know I won’t hurt for blog material.

@Dan I agree with you: usage is usage, irony or no.

Still, they say it when surprised or excited, so it’s already crossing the boundary between irony and slang-in-use.

Please. Lazy people are bastardizing language rather than speaking in full and coherent sentences. I fully understand and accept “current slang”, but saying “OMG” is just laziness.

We’re refining the art. I don’t know how casual usage will manage to contrive shorter verbal abbreviations than “omg,” but it would probably be naive to assume that this was the uttermost depth to which the spoken language could possibly be sunk.
