oi vey

See proper spelling: 'Oy vey'.

I tried to use 'oy vey' in a sentence, but since I'm a borderline illiterate, I used 'oi vey' instead.

oy vey in a good way

"When life gets a little messy but has potential to work out in the end."

Works best when using inflection towards the end of the saying to imply a question.

Nicole "Oh no, the dog just took a shit in my mom's new luggage!" Sam Hey she has already been here two days and leaves in the monrning, That's oy vey in a good way?"

oy vey

A term that used to be used by Yiddish and Jewish people, but is now used by antiemetics who think they are being clever, but in reality, are only losing their credibility and making them look dumb while proving they have no evidence to back themselves up.
