Furik said:I have no proof but it's common sense.. it's mainly used in the punk scene and skinheads (who are usually into white power) usually say it. It might be different in your country. ☝
Wikipedia said:"Oi" is a British working class slang word used to get someone's attention, or to express surprise or disapproval. It is not polite, but it is not especially offensive. It is not to be confused with the Yiddish exclamation of dismay or exasperation "oy" or "oy vey". However it may indeed be of Yiddish origin as other Yiddish words such as nosh and mish-mash have made their way into colloquial English.
The phrase "Oi" popularized in the punk and ska world by bands like the Cockney Rejects, was derived from the Greek Phrase "hoi polloi" meaning "the people" in a dispregiative way.the oi punk movement was fueled by the working class level skinheads who enjoyed punk, ska [unity], scooters and the notion that punk was a working class movement and not one of the art world. Oi became their anthem, emphasising the importance of the everyman.
In Catalan, "Oi!" is an interjection used to call someone's attention. Etymologically, it is believed to either derive from Òc, the affirmative particle (i.e., yes) in Occitan, or to be a corruption of the word Noi (meaning boy). As in English, it is an informal, but not offensive, form of address.
Similarly, in Japanese, "Oi" can be used to get another person's attention, but its use is considered too casual for many situations, and potentially offensive in some.
Horizon said:-huggles back- I'd punch her. But only 'cause she's not my parent.
'Tis people like that, that need oh-so desperately deserve to just, ummm...Be tortured to death VERY slowly and VERY painfully...?
'Tis people like her that make this world so damn bad...
No offense meant of course though (to you I mean)... ☝
rose_of_eternity said:Yeah I understand perfectly... and no offense taken
People who are narrow minded piss me off so much, they act like what they think is right and nothing else is, and nothing else is worth paying attention to. It really ticks me off -wrings hands because is so mad- gah WHERES ISAY WITH HER STORIES?! Today has sucked -_-;
rose_of_eternity said:"Oi" in russian is used as an expression of surprise, or realization, or something along those lines... like "Oops, I'm so sorry for bumping into you!" would be the same as "Oi, I'm so sorry for bumping into you!" so I just use it in that context.... Thanks for the little explaination Horizon-huggles-
Horizon said:Oh...Good then!
And ditto, ditto on that one! :angryfire:
What's wrong? What happened?
And, errr...I could insult Isay and try my hand at it...?
rose_of_eternity said:Well I was over at my girlfriends house, and we were having a great time just fooling around and listening to music/watching pvs, cooking, etc. and then she just had to bring up highschool so I confessed to her that I'm transfering because I'm moving soon, and she started crying, and so did I, and it was horrible -_-;
Horizon said:How far are you moving?
Horizon said:Here's some proof!
Precisely like I thought!
rose_of_eternity said:My new house is gonna be a few hours away from where she lives =/ so we cant like just chill anymore, and she wont have the time to drive over to my place, because its her last year in hs and she has to take like 5 ap classes and stuff, and shes gonna be too busy
Horizon said:Awwwwwwww! You poor things!
Furik said:Well, I was just stating it is used in hate term too. It can also be used in other languages.
Horizon said:And I only speak English, so ehh...
Horizon said:And I only speak English, so ehh...
Furik said:It is used in English language as hate, though. By skinheads. But as long as you don't mean it to be hate term, you have nothing to worry about!

Wikipedia said:Everyman (c. 1509-19) is a morality play.
Everyman is derived from a 921 line long Flemish play called Elckerlijc written by Peter van Diest in the second half of the 15th century. It was widely translated, and the English translation became Everyman, which is now world famous.
Everyman, an allegorical figure of the human race, is summoned by the allegorical figure of death. He discovers that his friends Fellowship, Kindred, Cousin, and Goods will not go with him. It is Good Deeds (or Virtue), whom he previously neglected, who finally supports him and who offers to justify him before the throne of God. Lines from this play provided the inspiration for the name of the popular literature series Everyman's Library.
Another well-known version of the play is Jedermann by the Austrian playwright Hugo von Hofmannsthal, which has been performed annually at the Salzburg Festival since 1920.
