Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Oy vey means literally: 'Oh woe' or 'Oh pain.' 'Es tut vey' means: 'It hurts'.. So it is comparable to the English expression 'Woe is me'. But Oy Vey has a certain music in the Jewish culture and is capable of many subtle meanings. A Jewish couple travelling through the South can't find any lodgings for the night. Coming upon a hotel Abe says to his wife Sarah: 'Don't open your big mouth.' He does his best to sound like a real American and they get a room. It has been a hot long day and they go to the pool. the water is cold and when she steps into it Sarah shrieks: 'Oy Vey' very loudly. Many heads turn in her direction whereupon she says sheepishly; "Wotever dat means!' Cheers from Shmuel - michael bindel Monday, June 20, 2005 7:36 PM Oy Veh!
