What Does ZOMG Mean in a Text?
ZOMG means "Oh My God."The abbreviation ZOMG is used with the meaning "Oh My God." It is thought to have originated from careless typing of OMG (in capital letters), during the course of which the "shift" key was missed and the "z" key was pressed instead.
Although originally formed as the result of a typing mistake, ZOMG is now widely used as a more sarcastic alternative to OMG, usually expressing mock surprise or disbelief.
