Get the oye mug.
A perversion of the English language and an established greeting or expression of distaste. This expression is most common in England, of all places. Also the reverse of the popular North American greeting, "Yo!".

I would assume that most British people would also find the expression, "yo!", very strange.
"Oy! What time is tea?"

Get the Oye's mug.
The written version of putting the peace sign up to your face, the "O" signifying the head, and the "y" signifying the peace sign. The Oy can be thrown up to show allegiance to one's posse, or to complement an act of mutiny upon one's friends.

Although sometimes mistaken for an acronym or as a word in itself, it should actually be pronounced as two letters, not "Oi"
