Get the Woe is me mug.A very very beautiful girl, who struggles to find who she is but is always so determined on herself and what truly matters. Guys want her but she doesn’t want any guy, she waits until the one comes. She’s patient, hot, smart, and can make you laugh in a second. She has one of the most prettiest smiles you can witness. You’ll want her so bad because she can be a baddie and has a great style but also because she has a personality that words can’t describe. She is a kind-hearted girl with good intentions but at times can be kind of bitchy but always for a good reason. You’ll know you don’t deserve her but she really cares about anyone who’s a part of her life. She is one in a trillion. Don’t ever lose a Ismerai because that’s when you fuck up. She’ll love you like no other and once you decide to leave then it’s over for you.

Get the This is me mug.Both answers that tried to explain are incorrect in explaining the grammaticality of the phrase. The verb "to be" is an intransitive verb, meaning it cannot take an object. English is a West Germanic language, thus some odd expressions like this have origins in our former case system. For those of you who have studied German, you will recall that it is correct to say "es ist mir kalt", or "mir ist kalt" rather than "ich bin kalt" (for the uninitiated respectively, "it is me cold" or "me is cold", rather than "I am cold"). The equivalent of the phrase "woe is me" in German is "Weh mir" (Woe (unto) me). This is because the phrase utilizes the dative case, a case English had before the Norman influence on the language after 1066. Since the conquest, the English language's accusative and dative cases merged into one oblique case, which creates the ambiguity of the (Early) Modern English usage of the phrase. Thus, the grammaticality of the phrase has its origins in an archaic system English once used, and was certainly not very foreign to Early Modern English speakers such as Shakespeare.
The use of the phrase is found in Wycliffe's translation of the Bible (1382) and William Shakespeare's Hamlet via quotes from the Bible (1602).
Wycliffe (Job 10:15) And if Y was wickid, wo is to me; and if Y was iust, Y fillid with turment and wretchidnesse `schal not reise the heed.
The term 'woe-is-me'ing would best be defined as declaring that one is in a state of distress or grief.
