Well, I was always wondering what the "Z" in "ZOMG" means.
Does anybody here know it?

Suggestion: for searching easier, press CTRL + F on your key board, a box will appear and input the word you don't understand, it'll highlight the word for you. Ok bye ^^.

This thread seems like a good idea but it's not very well organized. Is it okay if I organized it to make it easier to find meanings and such?

You could probably re-make it if you wanted to, seeing as the maker's been banned. Go ask Karma Dude about it.
