OMG

I need an auto un-like-er to decipher your secret message.

-1

WIY, I wasn’t trying to complain. I was using the un-like button, as Oh Shreck! suggested.

Proposal to change all references to goyisheh acronyms to more appropriate Yiddishe acronyms. In this way we shall separate ourselves from the tumadickeh outside world and the chukas hagoyim:

• OMG = RSO (Ribono Shel Oilom)
• LOL = Nothing. There is nothing funny about the Internet. Its only use should be for serious business.
• WT(LAST LETTER CENSORED) = OG (Oy Gevalt!)
• IMO = IG (Ich Gedensk)

I know someone who started saying OMHBH as a joke once. I don’t think it caught on though.

writersoul: hey! plenty of teenage girls in BP and Williamsburg speak Yiddish.

Do they have phones with text? Do they have email?

Most people I know who do neither live in these places nor speak Yiddish (though there are exceptions- then again, I put that in the same category as my friends who speak Russian, Spanish and Farsi). Yiddish just isn’t nearly as common among non-chassidish girls as it is among non-chassidish boys- my brother’s in fifth grade and he can scrape by in Yiddish just from picking it up, and I wouldn’t understand the first thing you’d say to me.

i actually often say” O-M-H”! since in halacha class i learnt i cant say the letters o m… i thought it would be better,so i asked my teacher and he said it sounds fine xD

fkelly: I do my best not to make sweeping statements- this is just what I’ve found to be true among people I know.
