Fun fact: The first use of OMG was in 1917
According to the Atlantic, the first use of the Oh My God (OMG) acronym was in 1917, with the recipient being none other than Winston Churchill.
In a letter to Churchill, British Navy Admiral John Arbuthnot Fisher used OMG in the following sentence: “I hear that a new order of Knighthood is on the tapis—O.M.G.(Oh! My God!)—Shower it on the Admiralty!”
In case you’re wondering, “on the tapis” is Victorian slang for “on the table” or “under consideration.”
