ome5

The 'ome5' emote is used to express shock, surprise, disbelief, or a 'caught off guard' reaction. It typically conveys a moment of unexpected realization or when something surprising happens on stream. The wide-eyed expression captures that split-second moment of being stunned or taken aback by something. It's often used similarly to other shock emotes but with a specific flavor associated with Nmplol's community.

The 'ome5' emote originates from Twitch streamer Nmplol (Nick Polom). This emote captures a specific facial expression from Nick during one of his streams, showing him with wide eyes and a surprised or shocked look. The emote became popular within Nmplol's community and was added to platforms like 7TV, FrankerFaceZ, or BetterTTV in the early 2020s, though the exact upload date varies by platform. Nick Polom is known for his variety content and collaborations with other streamers like Sodapoppin and Malena.

Common contexts for using 'ome5' include: when a streamer says something unexpected or controversial; during surprising plot twists in games or content; when someone makes an awkward or shocking statement in chat; during moments of secondhand embarrassment; when witnessing unexpected gameplay moments or fails; and in response to drama or tea being spilled in chat. It's particularly popular in Nmplol's chat and among viewers of the OTK (One True King) streaming organization.
