Haiya is the opposite of fuiyoh and is the MSG of words. It is used when expressing extreme disappointment, frustration, etc. The word went from only being popular in middle-aged English speaking Asian groups to being appreciated by a wide range of people because of recent viral videos on Youtube by Uncle Roger, a persona created by an Malaysian British comedian, Nigel Ng.

"Everybody should use the word haiya to expand your vocabulary, no matter if you're asian, white, black, or green." -- Uncle Roger, 2020
"Haiya green again today, so sad."

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."
