Well, Yosik, in Israel, this may be "C'est oy vey!"

 You know, I don't know of ANY way to express "Oy Vei" in english. This mixture of sigh and groan is unique in Yiddish. Oy vei is the short form for "Oy va voy" or Veiz mir" etc.... which ALL have NO translation. You have to be there to understand it. Cheers, Yossi

Oy Gevalt!
You're right, of course, Yossi. It's good to be able to use software day in and day out without having to say a bracha first, you know... And as much as I like that Corey character, he has a really goyisha punim. Still, a REAL Macher. As an aside, we actually named our 7 month old son after his great-grandfather, who's Yiddish name translates into "Wolf" in English. So, he's Eli Wolf. But his actual name, had we stuck with the original would have been "Vel-Vel." Now, you know that would have to smart when it comes time for elementary school recess in a few years, eh? BTW, in case you're wondering, the reason for my Anglican surname is because my father's converted. My mother, on the other hand, grew up on Jewel Avenue in Queens. She was once scolded harshly for chewing a piece of Bazooka during Pesach.
