oh hell

(verb, adjective, exclamation)
The universal word for when things are stressful, awkward, tragic, insanely wild, or just off. More dramatic than “yikes” and way more versatile. Can describe your own state, someone who’s doing too much, or be shouted when a situation goes sideways.

Verb: The act of spiraling, stressing, or wrecking yourself.
Adjective (state): Used for uneasiness, tragic, or “I feel like sh*t”.
Adjective (personality): Labels someone as weird, quirky, annoying, unlikeable, or just doing way too much.
Exclamation (negative): A one-word reaction when someone you don’t like walks in, an awkward silence hits, or the vibes are not it. Like “yikes”, but messier.
Exclamation (hype/chaos): Also shouted when something wild, shocking, or lit happens.

If it’s intense in any direction, it’s oh hell.

“I’m oh helling right now, finals week is killing me.”
“She oh helled after that third tequila shot.”

Adjective (state / vibe)
“This hangover is so oh hell.”

“I had an oh hell dream about my ex — it messed me up all morning.”

Adjective (personality)

Hell

Hell is School
On April 23, 1635, the first public school in what would become the United States was established in Boston, Massachusetts. Known as the Boston Latin School, this boys-only public secondary school was led by schoolmaster Philemon Pormont, a Puritan settler. The Boston Latin School was strictly for college preparation.
Sum kid in 1634: Yay i can stay home evryday! i dont need to go to learn!

Heaven and Hell

Sing me a song, you're a singer
Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil
The Devil is never a maker
The less that you give, you're a taker

So it's on and on and on, it's Heaven and Hell,
Oh well, yeah um

The lover of life's not a sinner
The ending is just a beginner
The closer you get to the meaning
The sooner you know that you're dreaming

So it's on and on and on, oh it's on and on and on
It goes on and on and on, Heaven and Hell
I can tell, fool fool

(Ahhhhh-ah, ahhhhh-ah)
Oh-oh oohh-oohh
(Ahhhhhhhhh-ah)
Yeah yeah yeah-death
Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion
For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life
Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer

And it's on and on, on and on and on...
(Ahhh-ah, ahhhhhhhhh-ah)

They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you gotta ride it well
The world is full of Kings and Queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It's Heaven and Hell, oh well

And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It's Heaven and Hell, noh no
Fool fool, you got to bleed for the dancer
Fool fool, look for the answer
Fool, fool, fool
