“ I hear that a new order of Knighthood is on the tapis—O.M.G. (Oh! My God!)—Shower it on the Admiralty! ”

Quote from a letter by British Admiral John “Jacky” Fisher included in his book Memories, which was published in 1917. The Oxford English Dictionary just discovered the quote, which is the earliest known usage of the phrase.
Maybe the younger set (or anyone else who abbreviates everything under the sun) has an excuse, after all!
