Most people i know find it offensive when anyone uses the phrase.

At my high school, the loopiest loons were the De  La Salle,  alleged teachers 

Have you ever had a teacher tell you, a propos of nothing, all about a particularly gross shit he took in graphic detail while you were just trying to get to class?

No, can't say I have.

We DID have a rather creepy teacher who was wont to linger in the boys' shower room after football. . He never did anything, he was just creepy.

My teachers' lunacy was usually about religion, and the current obsession. Eg I was in year 8. Our teacher organised for one of his suck-ups, on the stroke of each hour; to clap loudly, three times, and exclaim, loudly "Let us remember that we are the holy presence of God!" Where upon, we would all  say 'Amen', cross ourselves, look pious and continue with the lesson.

Only if you wanted to get hit, hard, with a very nasty strap .Those pricks had no sense of humour

We had one of those old coke coolers, with water. The coke bottles sat in the water, with the necks exposed.Monday morning, after a  Saturday football game with another school. Our principal became apoplectic when he discovered all of the cokes in the machine were empty; each had a straw sticking out.

I had to walk away, quickly, before breaking into uncontrollable laughter. 


I understand those machines were later banned. Something about Legionnaire's disease.



 

That's why I use OMFG and nobody accuses me of anything.

But OP is onto something: for example, below is an interview with Isaac Asimov where he talks about rationality where he used the expression "Heaven only knows" and interviewer immediately suggested to Asimov that, because he said that, even he can't live without God ("irrational") and then Asimov explains that that's simply English language and that there are many words in English language that invoke ancient gods - watch it starts at 2m 59sec

All I know is people referring to me as god are quite ignorant.
