(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.

Get the oh nomug. Derived from Red Dwarf, it is used when Rimmer attempts to simulate Jacobean courting. It means a man who uses a cheesy move to try and pull a woman. It's very similar to "Oh Matron!" from the Carry On films.
Katie just said that I had a lovely smile. She's hotter than the sun! I'll try yawning and putting my arm around her slender shoulders. Oh my lady!
