The Joy of OY

A sigh. A groan. A surprise! An exclamation of joy! A word you can use to commiserate with a friend.

Express your anguish. Confusion. Boredom. Dismay. Empathy. Fear. Sadness.

The all-purpose thing to say when you don't know what else to say.  What a wonderful invention!

HOWEVER: If you are not Jewish, do not try interjecting OY into just any situation.  It will probably come out wrong and land you in hot water.  OY!
