A lifetime ago I was into fashy memes on 4chan so I got to learn the inns and outs of hating Jewish people. Anything like "oy vey" "goyim" or a -berg at the end of a last name can be a red flag you're dealing with an antisemite. Problem is now a lot of them have dressed up their hatred in more respectable politics by attaching themselves to the anti-zionist movement in the west. So you get chucklefucks like Jackson Hinkle who you think oh wow cool they're anti-Israel so their politics must me good but nope.
I was raised as a haredi jew and I will never stop saying oy vey, you can pry that from my cold dead hands.
It's a good term, I often use it too as an agnostic lol, sometimes it's oy vey for other time jumpin' jesus christ!
Oy vey sounds really appropriate for what it's expressing. I use it for minor annoyances all the time. I throw a shalom down I stead of 'hello' as well but that's in the pile of hello and goodbye in different languages that I kinda just grab from
