    I wonder if social media atheists ever use "OMG". If so, they probably intended to type "OYG".

        @neiltyson As a social media agnostic hipster, I use 'OMG' ironically.

        @neiltyson I actually prefer OMZ - Oh My Zeus because it's just as arbitrary as the other.

        @amylynnbright @neiltyson My DD periodically says OMS--Oh My Squid. I think she's a follower of cthulhu.

        @neiltyson both/whichever we like. Using "oh my god" just signifies that we think something is literally unbelievable. =]

        @neiltyson I use "OMG" on the reg because why not use something I don't believe in to express disbelief?
