ONG meaning on Snapchat

Snapchat

On Snapchat, ONG stands for ‘On God.’ The term is often used to express honesty or sincerity in a statement, emphasizing that what is being said is the truth.

It is similar to ‘ISTG,’ which stands for ‘I Swear To God,’ and is used informally to convey a sense of seriousness. For example, if someone says “I will be at the party tonight ONG,” it means they are genuinely committed to attending the party and will not back out.

Snapchatters also use this phrase as an expression of strong agreement. For example, if someone says “the test was hard,” and you agree with their opinion, you might simply respond with “ONG.”

ONG is by no means a term used exclusively on Snapchat, so you may see this pop up in text messages from friends, or in posts on a number of other social media platforms.
