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
