RENSKE IS OP ZOEK NAAR DE NIEUWE OH MY GOD
Oh my god! What do I say so often oh my god! And while it will soon be an incredibly unhip expression. Just believe me, I have antennas for that kind of thing. Why do you think they hired me here? Well? Anyways, it’s just like that. Just look at the people who also use the word. That’s what I mean. Your mother. It may also be crystal clear that I have recently been frantically searching for another oh my god. And that is no small task.
1. Fuck my life
Indeed a very suitable option for when the neighbor's baby vomits on your new Gucci shoes. Or you want, for example, like me, to go on vacation to the Maldives or the Seychelles or if necessary Florida, but you have no money and absolutely no time and there is no one who wants to sponsor you and you are really the only one who has never been there. Well, then you can of course say it just fine. But what if your very best wine friend suddenly says tomorrow night that she is pregnant? Then you are of course not going to say Fuck My Life. Sure, you think it, because with whom the hell are you supposed to drink all those bottles of white now, but you certainly don’t say it out loud. No, really not.
Oooohhmigado or Migaaado or Miiiiigado.
2. Kill Me (Now)
Is perhaps already a bit better than Fuck My Life and works at least quite often. Do you see a great bag? Kill me now. Are you invited to a great drink? Kill me now. But unfortunately, you can’t always use this one either. Because what to do if someone suddenly has good news after a tough time? Someone has found a really nice new job after sitting at home for a long time. Then you certainly don’t say Kill Me Now. Unless you want everything to be about you in life. In that case, you should just go for it.
3. Holy Shit
I personally think it’s a pretty good option. I stole it from Elke and you can use it quite often. It also works very well in hysterical situations. Did someone find ten thousand euros on the street? Holy shit! Has someone on the editorial team lost eight kilos? HOOOLY shit! Is someone now more attractive than ever and maybe even suitable to become a model if it weren’t for the age being a bit of a problem? HOOOOLY shit!
Did you get on your bike after a big party and get stuck in the tram tracks? Cannons!
4. Omigado or Migado
This one comes from Theo and I find it quite suitable. You can also shift the emphasis depending on the situation. Oooohhmigado or Migaaado or Miiiiigado. Just what you like. Still, I think it’s just a bit too frivolous. Too long. Too confusing. I mean, personally, I can imagine that people born in the forties to eighties will think you are suddenly talking about Mikado. You know, that game with all those sticks. Really boring game by the way and I don’t have a steady hand and that’s quite difficult with Mikado.
5. CANNONS!
This one comes from myself and I think it’s quite good. Because it can be used in good and bad times. Did you get on your bike after a big party and get stuck in the tram tracks? Cannons! Did you go to the hairdresser and think you look stunning again? Cannons! Do you have no less than five amazing winter coats in mind and can’t choose? Cannons! Did you have fantastic sex? Cannons! Is your best wine friend pregnant? Cannons! Do you really want all the sunglasses from the A/W collection of Gucci? Cannons!
But still. You don’t need to be university educated to know that it’s not there yet. So the exhausting search continues unabated. Maybe we will find it. So feel free to drop your new oh my god in my inbox: renske@amayzine.com.
