I lose respect for people when I hear them saying Oh my God. Even more so when English isn't their first language.
Also the phrase I understand, but - no, you fucking don't, just admit that you neither agree or understand
Why? Itβs just an expression (and an extremely common one at that)
(and an extremely common at that)
That is the biggest factor in my annoyance with it. Can't come up with anything else, once in a while?
Shit tastes like chocolate compared to how it sounds when thw specific phrase "Oh my god" is dropped in English in a conversation that's not even in English by people who don't even have it as their first language.
I've reached the point where that phrase just sounds like a poor pop-culture reference than an actual expression.
