Full origin of OML →Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between OML and OMG?
OMG ('oh my God') is the older and far more common general exclamation. OML is used the same way but is slightly milder and is favoured by people who avoid saying God, and it can additionally mean 'on my life', a claim of honesty, which OMG never does.
Does OML mean 'on my life'?
Sometimes. If the sentence is a promise or denial, such as 'OML I didn't tell her', it means 'on my life'. If it opens a reaction, such as 'OML that's amazing', it means 'oh my Lord' or 'oh my life'.
