Definition
An archaic or dialectal exclamation expressing surprise, disdain, or dismissal.
Etymology
Of uncertain origin; possibly related to Old English or Scottish dialect expressions. May be connected to expressions of contempt or negation, though the exact etymology is obscure.
Kelly Says
Words like this crop up in regional dialects and disappear from written records—they're like linguistic fossils that show how differently people in different areas expressed themselves centuries ago.
