What does the Z stand for in ZOMG, you ask?

The answer: It is added to refer not just to God himself (in "Oh My God"), but more specifically to the prophet Zarquon. A similar abbreviation, "OMZG", actually means "Oh my zarking God." This is also derived from the prophet Zarquon. The verb "to zark" is generally connected to boring people to sleep with long speeches.
