OMGWTFBBQHAX!!

Yeah, the movie of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is coming out on a 13th. So? I just realized that it is coming out on a Friday. So? I, too, just realized that it is coming out on a Friday the 13th. So...?

Now, wait a moment...

Friday the 13th, you say...!?

OMGWTFBBQHAX!

In addition to variations on punctuation-based emphasis, it is common to combine two (or more) words and capitalize them to show emphasis. Perhaps most common would be the combination of OMG and WTF to produce OMGWTF. For irony or excitement, some will then add ancillary SMS phrases to the end (i.e. OMGWTFBBQHAX!). This ending generally has the same meaning as the saying “..with gravy,” commonly added to the end of sentences. This creates OMGWTFBBQHAX, meaning, “Oh my god; what the f*** (with added emphasis)?.”

Sucks to be those people with paraskavedekatriaphobia.
