Although people of the older generation who actively use social networks to communicate also often use it in their speech.
What is "omg"?
OMG is, first of all, a set of letters that is incomprehensible to a person encountering it for the first time. Moreover, it is almost impossible to guess what it is without clues.

Its use is widespread nowadays, and both adults and children use this interjection to express emotions. In principle, there is nothing wrong with the expression. It has nothing to do with swearing and does not offend anyone. It can be called, rather, neutral.

For example, on the VKontakte network you can find a video called “Omg”. Usually, such videos show something amazing or incomprehensible, something that can greatly surprise a person. Sometimes this combination of letters is also called music tracks. Usually these are very fast and sharp melodies that can not only surprise a person, but also drive him into a stupor. The question of what “OMG” is on VKontakte can be answered as follows: it is an expression of human emotions. Sometimes even games on social networks can be called this expression. This may indicate that the application is amazing in some way, which means that by installing it the user will receive a lot of positive emotions.
When is the expression "omg" used?
If this expression is used in virtual communication, most likely it means surprise. For example, you can often come across the phrase: “Omg, how does he do that?” This means that the person is very surprised by what he sees and does not have enough words to express his emotions. But if we translated the interjection “omg” literally, the phrase in Russian would sound like this: “Oh God, how does he do that?”
Basically, that's all that can be said about this word. But you need to know its meaning so that when you meet it again, you need to understand the whole context. Now the question of what “OMG” is will not remain unanswered for you. And if you come across this expression, then its meaning will absolutely be understood by you.
Today we will talk about fashionable computer abbreviations(and not only). We have two wonderful videos on this topic. Let's get started!
asap= as soon as possible. This abbreviation is often used for letters and short notes at work (called memo) and is translated "As soon as possible". For example, “Call me back asap!” means “Call me back as soon as possible!”
What is IOU?
iou= “I owe you.” This word can be used within business relationships and is translated "I owe you"(usually about money). In legal English, the abbreviation IOU refers to a signed document certifying the existence of debt obligations.
Principles for reading some abbreviations
Our savvy reader could already guess on his own that some abbreviations in English you can simply spell it out or numbers, and get a meaningful phrase. First, let's look at the most common symbols:
- u = you (you);
- r = are (there is);
- c = see (see);
- y = why (why);
- 8 = ate (ate);
- 2 = two/to/too (2/to/too);
- 4 = for (for).
New abbreviations are appearing at great speed, but once you understand the basic logic and mechanism of formation, you will be able to decipher them yourself! The main thing is to know how the letters are read. Examples: ICQ = I seek you (I am looking for you), icu = I see you (I see you), i4cu = I foresee you (I foresee you), sk8 = skate (skate). A little more complicated: y u no...? = why you no (why don’t you)...? = why don't you...?
Yes, that's right, there is an ERROR: ...cat don’t... Such
Unfortunately, not all abbreviations are so easy to decipher. Those abbreviations where each letter corresponds to a word are called initial abbreviations. For example, LST = Large Solar Telescope, UNSC = UNSC = United Nations Security Council = United Nations Security Council. Even more unfortunately, they can have many meanings... For example, UNSC can also stand for United Nations Space Command.
LOL
lol= laugh out loud = I laugh out loud= LOL. This is probably the most popular abbreviation on the Internet, so everyone should know it!
What does BRB mean?
brb= be right back. If during conversations on ICQ or Skype you need to go to the toilet, you can write brb to your interlocutor, which means "I'll be there soon". This abbreviation will also be useful for gamers to know.
OMG what does this mean
omg= oh my god = Oh my God! This abbreviation is especially popular among young girls. According to some English speakers, the word God can offend the feelings of another person, so it is better to say oh my goodness/gosh. However, the translation into Russian will not change.
WTF translation
wtf- one of the many informal (read obscene) abbreviations. It expresses an extreme degree of misunderstanding and stands for what the fuck = what the f...?/what the fuck? Naturally, this phrase may sound offensive and unpleasant. try to use it only in the company of friends. Otherwise mom will find out and make an attack.
Other abbreviations
- plz = please = please;
- l8r = later = later;
- ?4u = question for you = question for you;
- jk = just kidding = just kidding;
- asl = age, sex, location = age, gender, location (used when dating online);
- ttyl = talk to you later = let's talk later;
- cya = see you = see you;
- np = no problem = no problem;
- idk = I don’t know = I don’t know;
- tmi = too much information = too much information;
- k = okay = okay/good.
For examples of the use of these abbreviations and the subtleties of their use, watch the video! Want even more speeds? 😉 Watch the lesson.

Popular word "omg" - what does it mean? How do online buzzwords appear and where do they come from?
The Internet has its own fashion. Everyone who uses the Internet regularly, at least once a day, knows about this. Only, unlike real life, where fashion extends to style, appearance, some things, shoes or clothes, on the Internet fashion manifests itself in communication and in trends that are popular at one time or another.
What is online fashion?
So, if we talk about fashion trends, then it could be any event that has become popular among Internet users. For example, an upcoming holiday, some international competition, the release of a film or book. You can notice that this event is in fashion by how it is reviewed in the community, on various platforms where communication takes place in a public form. Such platforms include blogs, VKontakte groups, forums, communities on other social networks, and chats in games. The form in which this or that trend can be presented also varies - an event can be ridiculed and presented completely seriously; it can be characterized in a positive or negative way, and so on. In addition to events, a word, phrase or even a style of communication can become fashionable. For example, at one time the expression “omg” was popular. What this means is known to many Internet users who use the network at least a couple of times a day.
Lol and omg - what does this mean?
Many popular expressions came to us from English-speaking users. This is not surprising, since their prevalence is due to the demand for the English language itself. This means that not only Americans can use the word "lol", but also Chinese, Europeans and other peoples around the world. This expression, by the way, means laughing out loud. It is used in cases where a person wants to emphasize how funny he is (literally the phrase means: “I laugh very loudly”). Another word - "omg" - has also become quite popular. It expresses surprise and means oh my God, and is translated - “My God!”
Where do online buzzwords come from?
It is not known exactly who exactly comes up with different popular words. In general, we can only say, for example, that the birthplace of the word “omg” is Dota (the most popular online game), since it was from its chats that it began to be used in everyday life. In particular, it was her players who most often wrote the phrase “omg stats”, showing surprise at the statistics of themselves or their colleagues. Most likely, this is where this word came from. Now, for example, Omg Dota is the name of one of the expansions in the game, which is somewhat different from its basic version.
There are also versions of how phrases like “lol”, “wtf”, “idk” appear. Everyone knows what they mean, but when exactly they were used for the first time is unclear, since this is folklore, folk art.
How to be “on topic”?
Since there are quite a lot of similar fashionable phrases, words and abbreviations, the question arises of how to be “in the know” in order to know them all and not ask every time: “Omg - what does this mean?” There is only one answer - communicate online. 
You can, of course, constantly ask questions to your friends, who often sit in different online chat rooms, and find out the most current information in this way. However, you may not always be able to understand the true meaning of new words. If you are really interested in this, we recommend that you yourself participate in “online life”, which, by the way, has already absorbed many people from reality around us. If you really give part of your personal time to the Internet, then questions like “omg - what does this mean?” will be irrelevant to you.
Diversity of Internet Trends
Recently, you can notice that a single set of Internet trends has begun to fragment, splitting into different directions in communication. For example, VKontakte communities can use their own terms, while Dota players actually speak their own slang. 
A kind of specialization occurs, during which a person has his own sphere of communication on the network. This, in turn, shows how virtual life is expanding and developing in parallel with real life.

But who knows what the words IMHO, RTFM, OMG and WTF mean? :) the more details, the more interesting.
)))God(((
IMHO - imho
Only the lazy do not know the decoding of this tetragrammaton: in my humble opinion, i.e. “in my humble (sic!) opinion.” But our Slavic “IMHO” is much more neutral, without any shade of vagueness or shyness. In Russian, this is an introductory word that simply means “in my opinion,” “I believe,” “I believe.”
But the glorious path of this word does not end there. “IMHO” has already become a noun, which usually means “personal opinion”, “idea, view, belief” or “assumption”.
A little less often you can come across another meaning of “IMHO”: a computer acronym. That is, “IMHO” is a synonym for the very definition of “acronym, abbreviation”, a generic word for all abbreviations of this type. What is "BTW"? Answer: by the way - “by the way”, i.e. an acronym. Abbreviation. Another imho from many imho.
The stress is on the second syllable, the noun “imho” is neuter and is freely inflected (“without imho”, “according to imho”). There is also a plural - “imhi”. In the composition of complex words, this component is almost not observed: lovers of experiments have not yet thought of calling a referendum or a voting poll “imhomer” or “imhomometer”. But there is already “imhoism”. A new philosophical movement, no less. In online disputes, the adjectives “imhoshny” and “imhovy” are flashing - “subjective”, “personal”, “based on one’s own experience”. It should be noted that these epithets are not without self-confidence and aplomb (note how far we have come from the initially modest English I.M.H.O.). And the “imkhoshnik” will probably be a person with his own mind, a debater who is difficult to convince. And finally, computer pirates, working in their gloomy lairs to hack the next mega-portal or super-toy, automatically purr under their breath: “Imho-ho and a bottle of rum...”. “Imho-ho” is an interjection.
Along with the correct literary version “imho”, the colloquial “imha” (noun) is used. Less common is the unchangeable form “imhu” (introductory word), clearly reduced from the expression “according to my humble imhu.”
“IMHO” cannot be recognized exclusively as an attribute of written speech. I've heard people use it in conversation (again, as an introductory word). Moreover, before our eyes, a certain sworn fidoshnik “infected” with this “IMHO” an interlocutor who did not have access not only to web networks, but also to a personal computer at all.
RTFW is an acronym that stands for “Read The Fucking Web.”
Used as an ironic avoidance of a question, the answer to which can be obtained by reading well-known documentation. The implication is that the questioner must already have some qualifications and know the answer to the question being asked (or the information is readily available and the question indicates that the questioner has not even tried to get an answer). The meaning of using RTFM is literally this: “After all, read this damn manual and stop asking stupid questions.”
There is also a light version of this abbreviation, which is not so crude and is often used as the name of an organization’s internal website containing information useful for employees - Read The FAQ & Manuals
The letter can be completely eliminated, and the acronym will take the form RTM, i.e. Read The Manual. They say this if they know that the questioner has sufficient qualifications (or an insufficient sense of humor), thereby softening the degree of smile at him, a kind of manifestation of respect.
OMG is an abbreviation of three words: “Oh My God!” In Russian transcription - “omg” or “omege” (“omygy” and other consonant ones). Fright or surprise. Shock. Often used in the "zOMG!!1" variant. When written in this way, the author’s enormous shock and subsequent carelessness in typing are expressed.
RTFM - Read The Fucking Manual - Read This Damn Instruction
WTF - What The Fuck - What the Hell
OMG - Oh My God - Oh My God - Oh My God
IMHO - In My Humble Opinion - In My Humble Opinion
