When Sawyer smacks Dan (on the way to the Hatch) Charlotte lets out an, "Oy!!!" Did anyone else think this was a clue about her?

Oy is a common phrase in England. It's not used much by those of a more "refined" background as her accent implies her to be, but still a very typical comment to make back home.

I seem to recall Charlie saying that at some point, but there have been lots of seasons to delve back on.

Hmmm, England's English use of that Yiddish phrase is common, huh? So do you think that was that a bone thrown out by the writers for their international audience?

To be honest, Oy is used in lots of languages. "Oy!" in England refers to 'Hey!" I believe that the writers were simply being true to Charlotte's past. Then again, the actress playing Charlotte may have thrown that in. Her entire line was back-to-England basics: "Oy! What bloody hell you think you're doing?" Skipping the 'do' is quite British.

In England we spell it "Oi" :)

In England we spell it "Oi" :)

Thanks. Noted. :redface:

Yeah, "Oi" is just an exclamation.

Oi is certainly a very British expression, and one they've used a lot, since way back when they colonized India (might've even picked it up from there originally); incidentally, it's one of the most staple phrases in the Indian (Hindi) and Urdu languages: Oi can mean anything from a call for attention to a reprimand to... well, anything!

Yeah South Africans and Aussies use it also as "hey!" so it's a very common exclamation.

I agree. She was very British in that scene.

At least she didn't say, "Oy Daniel! Don't go all meshuga on me."
Now that would make me question her origins and intentions.

Yeah, Oi Is a British term used to show outrage or annoyance at something someone said. A quick way of getting their attention and showing you disapprove.

Oi (or Oy)--Thanks for all the clarification. :biggrin:

Our fiery red-head is staying true to color.

Charlie used it tons of times come on people! ;)

Oy is also the name of the Bumbler that befriends Jake in the Dark Tower books.
I'll bet she was calling him to bite Sawyers ankle for slappin her Dan!

(Sorry, just saw the spelling and couln't help it)
