First of all, it is YIDDISH, not Dutch or Swiss-German. (Swiss-German? Where did that one come from?) It means: "Woe is me" and is an expression of surprise, unhappiness, and disgust. And as for all you Deutsch-and Schweizers: Du verdammter idiotes! Ja, du kleine scheisse! Das ist Yiddish! YIDDISH! (the grammar may be wrong, I don't spreche that well)
Now that I'm done ranting (Oy vey! Did I really just say all that?) I can say one final thing. To all who think it's French, German, or Dutch, you are a shanda far di goyim! Thank you.

A form and phrase of astonishment for people of Jewish descent. Also refers to excitement of a half price off sale or any other type of discount on useless yet cheap items.Along with excitement to sales and bargains, the term "oy vey!" can also associate with a negative excitement such as an outrageously overpriced item.
