A term used between teens of DDP (Drunk Disorderly Punks) as a way of hollering at each other and saying "hi", since they are usually wandering the streets and need to yell to get attention. It also serves a double purpose of letting them know the one who yelled it is one of them.

oy

Exclamation of surprise, amazement, etc.
Most probably stems from "oei!" A West-European word, similar to the English "Oh!" or "Oh dear!" or the more modern "What the hell?!".

Also used to attract attention.

Oy, what the hell do you think you're doing?

oy!

A perversion of the English language and an established greeting or expression of distaste. This expression is most common in England, of all places. Also the reverse of the popular North American greeting, "Yo!".

I would assume that most British people would also find the expression, "yo!", very strange.

"Oy! What time is tea?"

"Oy! I mean, Yo!" - dyslexic American
