OMG comes from the world's sassiest British officer. This British admiral from WWI John Arbuthnot "Jacky" Fisher, 1st Baron Fisher wrote in a letter, " I hear that a new order of Knighthood is on the tapis—O.M.G. (Oh! My God!)—Shower it on the Admiralty!!".
And yes, both exclamation points were really included in his letter from 1917.
