Thats what I thought it was.

In the Malay language "Eish!" is an expression when a
girl tell a boy his advances is not appreciated.

Hi,

In South Africa it is used by the indigenous people when things go wrong.

It is so well known that it is used in a Klipdrift brandy advert.

It is also used when somebody is in a position where he has no solution at all

Regards

That's all well and good but for us non-south africans, how is that pronounced?

It's how I take my drinks... a double with plenty of EISH!!!

Cheers,

And In India, Eish is the way of expressing a sentiment that I really want to exterminate you, you dimwist, but what to do, justified pesticide is not allowed in a law abiding country.
