oh my god........

what sentence, if u mean by sentence (hahahaha). I dont think its a sentence

I use that expression very seldom... Only when there is a sudden burst of emotion... It is not really habitual. I recall using that line when I was in the delivery room and my baby just come out and I was calling the nurse to show my baby to me asap... and the other incident was when my baby tripped up! I honestly don't want to use that as my expression only...

I usually substitute God with Gosh..lol..I have heard a lot of people say it pretty often though..mostly when they are surprised or shocked..That's when I say Oh my Gosh!

I think it is just a habit many people are not conscious of, though for some it is a reaffirmation of their belief.

You know, I'm very temtped to respond to this with a prank a friend of mine played on me once.He came looking to me, looking very upset. I asked what's wrong, and he said he's very upset, because when he was making love to his girlfriend, she screamed another name than his. I told him to try to talk to her about it and not act rash and asked him if he knew the guy. So he told me it's the same guy as usual, the one that all girls think about when they're with him. I looked very puzzled and he said with a big smurk on his face : they all yell "oh my God" when they are with me. It really made me laugh a lot! I knew him for the prankster type, but i just couldn't believe how perfect he played his part on this one. Now..to answer your question, for some these words are just pure habbit. Though they were initially meant as a short prayer type saying, an invocation of the entity above, it has lost its initial meaning a long time ago. All that's left of the uplifting feeling it was meant to have...is the meaning my friend exposed in such a funny manner. Have a nice da, shibham! :)

It's just habitual. Like not being able to sleep if you can't hear the sound of an AC. But whenever you utter that sentence it's like you're asking looking to something with the highest power there is. Or you could also say "Oh dear..." which means you are looking to the person closest to you for something.

Well, I have also said this so many times...but fact is that I don't believe in God or some power like that ... Its general thing ..which we just say to express such feelings ...thats all ... Thanks ... :)

There are many phrases like this which we utter when we are taken aback or surprised or startled by something like "what the heck", "what the devil","Jesus", "Oh sh*t", and of course "O God" etc.Instead of saying other things, by saying O God we are at least reminded of God and by taking his name we receive a quiet blessing even if we say it mechanically. As for me i cannot recall having saud this phrase for quite a long time. I do not need to say it because i am continuously repeating the name of God under my breath all day.

I don't actually use this phrase too much. But a lot of people use it in EXCESS to say the least! It does slip off the tip of my tongue sometimes, but it's definitely considered by most (except for Christian Extremists) to be part of American Slang; something that no one is intending on hurting anyone by saying. It's socially acceptable.

Hi Shibham. I don't remember the last time I used the expression, but normally, when I do, it is a way to express surprise, shock, disdain, or disbelief. Karen

hello shibh, how are you? well shibh, i don't use this sentance as habituate, i generaly use the sentance from mind.GOD IS GREAT.

I often say this, but I don't really mean anything by it. For me, it's just an expression. I think many people use it as an expression. I don't really know why it became my expression, but I guess I learned it from other people who keep on saying it.

ya often i use this sentance oh MY GOd! . For me i used it in two conditions of when i get surprised or listen any bad news which have same meaning but expressions are different. God bless You

I utter this sentence ALOT in a day. It's a saying now like "cool" or "sick". It's little brother omg and zomg is even a popular internet euphanism. It's basically just a saying that is so automatically used now where in olden days I'm sure it was just reserved for exclusive moments of severe shock and stuff. Cheers!

I noticed a few years ago how often I was saying that and thought wow, the way I say it and the situations I say it in aren't very respectful. I started saying oh my gosh or oh my goodness or good heavens. I rarely say oh my God anymore unless it's truly a moment of shock, sorrow or great joy.

It is nothing but a interjection. I just utter this because of the habit. And I have not used this for more then two month. I want to keep me from such meaningless word. Let me see how must can I do in this.
