Uncle Roger's catchprase.
In Mandarin it is "āi yā" which means "Oh No!"
But Uncle Roger is Hokkien Chinese.
So In Hokkien Chinese, "hāi" means fucked up. "ah" is when something is done.
So the phrase "Haiyaa" means you did something fucked up.
It's not racist for non-Asian folks to say Haiyaa.

"Haiyaa is the MSG of words, it contain all the flavor..." "Your bus comes late, Haiyaa." "Your baby born with three arm, Haiyaa."
