**Heh… don’t I know it, TLD.

Hopefully,we don’t have to include the link to the explanation of the word “Aiya!” every time we use it. But if we do, then so be it… I’d sort of understand.

F_X **

Wait, I have a better definition of it. It’s the sound you make when you fall out of a 30-story window.

AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Flamsterette_X]

Shrinking Violet, NoClueBoy might well give us both some credit… but what I want to know is if he’ll itemize it on a statement for us. Ooh, the things that could be included on that statement… oh my!

dantheman, refer to the paragraph in that link about the worker on the Great Wall accidentally dropping a brick onto the owrk foreman, which gets him thrown into the Wall to perish an agaonizing death. That might seem to sum up your example quite nicely.

:eek:

You know, looking at those examples I wonder if “aiya” is used the same as “oy,” as in “oy veh!”

[Flamsterette_X]

Well, here’s a paragraph from the explanation that will hopefully answer your question.

It is unfortunate that English has no equivalent to Aiya. It saddens me that American English doesn’t afford me a fun phrase to emote. “Shucks,” “Darn,” and the plethora of swear words cannot convey what Aiya can. So, I’m going to propose that we start an initiative. American English should grab on Aiya or the Yiddish “Oy” for our use.

There you go… the answer is most probably yes.

Man, I dig being righter than usual.

Now, you might think yer cunning as a shithouse rat, but I reckon yer tryin’ to bignote yerself, ya drover’s dog. St-fucking’-rewth. **

I’m telling!! English only. Hmph, the nerve of some people!

Are we going to have to start another British vs. American vs. South African vs. Australian vs. Canandian…tired of typing please mentally include your English of choice…to get a SDMB approved word list?

LoadedDog do we get a translation for humped me bluey?

[jjimm]

Do the “aiyaa” fans also recognise the term “hoy-loooooor”? I always wondered if this was a colloquial HK version of “aiyaa” or whether it has a separate meaning.

Now, wait a minute, even if Airman Doors and I start going back and forth using jargon and acronyms that none of you people understand, that’s now illegal?

If you can’t post an ALPHA or BRAVO on the SDMB, the terrorists have already won.

Tripler
Okay, I know it was weak, but it’s all I got. . . :rolleyes:

[gouda]

Also dann, solch einen Faden wird nie mehr erlaubt? Auch wenn es einen Mod (Coldfire) doch gibt, der ziemlich gutes Deutsch kann?

[Translation]
So, this sort of thread won’t be allowed any more? Inspite there being a mod (Coldfire) who is rather fluent in German?

[parlo_americano]

Dantheman you enter a thread and you take everything the wrong way…Aussies are indeed right so in mer face…I see nothing wrong with that :::gulp:::

Shrinking Violet
I appreciated the info on what a bluey was um even though I didn’t follow the etomology of it too well.

And Gouda , Dieses Thread war einfach super! Ich wunder mich ob wir Denglish oder Spanglish etc. benutzen können.

And Tasty Cheese From Lowland Countries , that thread was super! I wonder if we can use Denglish (Deutsch English) or Spanglish (Spanish English) etc.

What did I take the wrong way? All I said was, “so to speak.” Maybe you misunderstood my double entendre.
