What is: OMG

I'm sure everyone has text or messaged this: O.M.G.

But have you ever wondered where, why or when it actually started? Well let me tell you this, it started much, much farther back in time then you could imagine, so it didn't start when some teenagers started texting with phones about boys or girls, like this:


'OMG, he's/she's so cool!'


Here's how it started, who started it, and when it started!

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first person to use "OMG" was a 75-year-old British admiral, which is about as far as a carbon-based life form can get from a teenage valley girl in a shop texting her friends about how cool Justin Bieber is. His name was John Arbuthnot 'Jacky' Fisher, 1st Baron Fisher of Kilverstone, and he coined the term while writing his memoirs ... in 1917. Almost 100 years ago.

The exact phrase was: "I hear that a new order of Knighthood is on the tapia -- O.M.G (Oh! My God!) -- Shower it on the Admiralty!" (his subtle way of hinting that he hoped to be knighted). It's ironic, then, that one of the most popular abbreviations in the world was created by someone who didn't quite grasp the concept of using the acronyms to save time, since he immediately followed the term with the phrase it was supposed to shorten.

Review: Just Dance 4

Hello, and I'm going to do something new. I'm going to write a Review! I'm going to do the Review on the new game for Wii, PlayStation 3, Wii U and Xbox 360 called Just Dance 4 that I just got. I only have Wii, so I'm doing it about the Wii Just Dance 4.

Review:
Just Dance 4 is a game for very enthusiastic dances. It allows you to Dance to 44 different tracks, no swearing, from different artists, but their is also I store that I am yet to have a look at. During play, up to four players can play, there is a faceless man right in the middle for you to copy, but in the lower right hand corner of the sreen there are also instructions of what to dance. I really like the backgrounds that go with the song, and the choreography and the clothes on the man/woman you're copying off suit the song really well.

Profiles are really easy to make, just select a face (which you can change later when you unlock more when levelling up), your age, and then just put in your name! Easy-peasy lemon-squeasy! The only bad thing about the profile's are: You make one and you level up and dance and all that. I then make one for my little brother, so we don't have to share. But, we technically do! Because after each song, his score goes into my profile! I mean, there meant to be separate! Well, thats the only bad thing in my books!

Levelling-up: After getting scores, they add up, and when you get enough, you level up. It's pretty easy: Score big in different songs = level up! When you level up, you get a surprise prize! You can get faces, mash-ups of dances in one song, or dance-off's between two songs for example! I haven't gotten a face yet!!!!

The differences between Just Dance 3 and Just Dance 4 are that Just Dance 4 just has way more features It has faces, more realistic dances, easier to understand difficult rating, different songs, (although, Just Dance 3 has more dance tracks than Just Dance 4! 49 songs to 44!) and much more!

I really enjoy playing Just Dance 4, I really recommend it to beginner dancers, and proffesionals. I mean, I never danced properly, but I'm pretty good at some of the songs. My favourites are: 'Livin' la Vida Loca' by Ricky Martin and 'We no speak Americano' by Yolanda Be Cool. My Hi-score for 'Livin' la Vida Loca' is 11059 points, and for my other favourite 'We no speak Americano,' my Hi-Score is 7758!

I hope you liked my review, more reviews soon! Have fun playing any Just Dance game if you have one! I highly recommend this game for anyone!
