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.
