• This is the bar/handle that is located above a passenger's seat to be grabbed onto as a means of stability when the car is turning too fast. Hence, when someone is going to fast, passengers may feel scared and/or say "Oh shit."

  He took the turn so fast I had to grab the oh-shit-bar.

interjection

• Oi or oy has many meanings/origins. In Britain, it's like "Hey!", usually in a negative situation when you are angrily trying to get someone's attention, or when you're indicating you're offended by something someone just said. In Yiddish, it's like a lament. "Oi, this sucks." In music, usually ska, it's a kind of chant that people do. "Oi, Oi, Oi, Oi!" I have also heard that to some people this can be considered some sort of racist remark, though I don't know to what people this supposedly refers or who supposedly uses it.

  Oi, this sucks.

  Oi! Stop!
