Oy Oy Bird

The Oy Oy Bird is an extremely rare bird existing in the Amazon rainforest. Only males have been observed yet. The species most conspicuous characteristics are huge testicles and shorts legs. Due the birds landings it suffers great pain caused by the shorts legs incapability of absorbing the shock.

Studies tells that the direct collision between the birds testicles and objects damage and affects the birds fertillity. This may explain the rarity of the specie.

The spectacular bird earned it's name from the moment before a landing and says this weird sound "oy oy oy oy OY!!!".

Look, there is the rare Oy Oy Bird! "Oy oy oy oy OY!!"

oy

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.

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
