OMG is a worldwide term. It's not just from us "American folk". If you read below, WAG was added to the dictionary as well, which is a British abbreviation.
And I know I said I needed space,

but I know I can't be comfortable in my own skin.

So when I say I'm scared to be alone, you know I mean it,

I'm just not ready to leave my room.

Well..this is interesting! Some of this chatspeak has been around for years though. I don't think this is really necessary to add though, haha.

If you had crooked teeth, talked like there was the head of a penis in the back of your throat, still lived in little stone cottages and villages, drove cars that looked like lady bugs, for the males: were shaped like a woman, for the females: Had 70% more fecal matter on your hands than any other nationality and generally were all just annoying little turds who couldn't beat their way out of a paper bag, you'd hate the better versions of you too.

Cue: OI LEEST'N WE ALL NOT PHAT, SHTUPID AMERICANZ.
