An Ode to .... "Oh My Gosh"

Hannah Messick, this ode is for YOU! --- apologies for it taking too long!

"Oh My Gosh."

you know it well. You've prob said it a time or two and heard it said even more. This 3 word expression tumbles out of the mouths of people in many different forms. Here are some:



1. there is the oh-my-gosh-this-is-so-great-i-have-to-tell-you-about-it, oh my gosh. This usually comes after something really freaking sweet happened or if you are wanting to gossip (which I don't support doing).

2. then there is the oh-MY-gosh. you know this one, when you sound something like a valley girl and then you correct yourself b/c you just realized you sound ridiculous. ha ... that one is the funniest.

3. the best one is the "ooooh.myyy.goooosh." or it could be said "oooooooh.my.gosh." you say it this way when you have been stunned in some way shape or form. like when you tell someone something they can use against you later in life ;) ;) ... remember that one time you ... :)

4. and you can't forget the "ohmygosh" when it all sounds like one word. this can come out anytime you forget something. "ohmygosh i left my purse" or "ohmygosh are you sure i turned off the stove." it preceeds the freaking out. you dont really like saying this oh my gosh when you are alone. You have no one to shake you out of it. So you sometimes call a friend.

... those are all the ones I can think of for now.

Now I will say "oh my gosh" is very different than "oh my god" so you can't replace one with the other, it just doesn't work that way.

feel free to add any other "oh my gosh" expressions as you wish. they are welcomed.

oh my gosh, i gotta go to sleep.
