oh my god

[tinkertontom]

if ever there was an over use of three little words it has got to be OH MY GOD.whenever there is one of those makeover programs on that's all you hear ,does it get on anyone else's nerve's and what words or sayings get you reaching for something to throw at the tv.

Wow! Wow! Oh Wow!

I like to watch the reveal on those DIY programmes and count how many times the householders say 'Wow!'

Tinkertom you made me giggle. I too have a pet hate of the over-use of this expression. I thought initially that it was a young person's phrase, teens seem to use it a lot, but no, everyone is using it these days. It really gets on my nerves too. Have you noticed as well how often people say 'yer know' after every phrase. Its almost seems like they use the expression to 'buy time' whilst they are thinking for the next thing to say.

OMG - I sound like a real old fuddy duddy ! Doll x

I really hate it too. Why do they say it. It shows a complete lack of the command of the English language and it is blasphemous!

Eastenders would only be 10 mins long if the word "Sorted" wasnt invented lol

I agree. It's strange that this expression is used in so many American sit-coms when you consider the right-wing zealots they have over there. Wow is another worn out expression. It's used endlessly on A Place in the Sun.
