So weird and annoying. ?

Question

Does anyone know why (now all of a sudden) people are saying (typing) "zomg"? What does the "z" stand for? And why do people put it in front of "omg" (oh my god)? I don't get it and people say it's for "emphasis" but that still doesn't make sence. I quite frankly think it's annoying. So would someone please explain this "text language" that most "teens" are using to describe stuff. Like, "zomg, i totally luvz your shirt, zomg!" "zomg, let's go to the mallz, zomg!" "zomg, Ambrocrombie and Fitch is having a sale, zomg!" "zomg, sally was SO flirting with my boyfriend, zomg!" "ZOMG, i'm going to kill her, zomg!"

Answer 1

Your examples made me smile. haha..

Well, it's just another random 'text language' that popped up... just like "lmao" or "lawl"...anything like that.

It does get annoying..

Answer 2

when they wanna say OMG in capitals they miss the shift and hit the z

so you get zomg, but some people use it coz they think it means omg, coz someone they knew has used it, just a miss understood typo!!

Answer 3

Haven't got a clue.  Maybe someone hit the wrong button or they just have fat thumbs.  I looked at all the sms dictionarys that I could find

Answer 4

It's a sarcastic way of saying OMG!

So instead of S they put Z (somg looks... well weird while zomg looks ok depending on who you are. ZOMG! looks like it should be placed with things/words in the toystory 2 movie!).

Ya may want to look at this might shed some more light on it... I don't use OMG anymore.....it tends to be holy s***! nowadays!

Answer 5

I know I find it very annoying too!

Why can't they just stick to the right spelling?
