“This is truly, on god, the first “would you rather” that I’ve ever had to devote significant thought to.”

They just don’t like punctuation.

Edit, sorry @ prenupbutter@lemm.ee I meant to reply to you.

Oh ffs. How you managed to decipher that, I don't know. Thank you!!

What does "on god" mean? First I've heard that term.

[–] SomeoneElse@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They’re swearing to god that what they are saying is true. It’s phrased a bit awkwardly, I think they’ve mixed up “I swear to god” and “hand on heart” or maybe “on my mother’s life”, something like that.

"on god" is just zoomer slang.

[–] SomeoneElse@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Ah! I’m pretty old, definitely not up to date on the latest slang.

[–] radix@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

It can also be abbreviated to "ong" which is not the same as "omg".

like, "I swear by god", I'm guessing

1000 roaches or a human in my attic is not what fucked me up, it was that damn second comment and I scrolled furiously thinking surely it's not just me. Thanks for the explanation.
