Swaaaaah!

Each language, each culture has some words that simply cannot be translated without loosing some of the meaning. For example, we can try to use Chutzpah all we like, but only Yiddish speakers can understand in full the concept they want to relate by using it.

Another such word, or expression, for quite frankly, I don't really think there is much of a meaning behind it, is Swaah!.
Swaah is a word somewhat like Oy Vey, or Aiyyo, or something along the same lines. Except that it goes a bit deeper than that.
Now, like I said, this word would lose a lot in translation, but I'll give it a shot anyhow.
You use Swaah, not just when you are frustrated with a particular situation, but when you stand back, and take a look at the pure stupidity of what is going on. Swaah expresses not just frustration, but a sad understanding of what the hell has happened, and how you can do absolutely nothing to stop it.

Such is the nature of Swaaaaah! Now, if any pure minded gent would like to give an example of a Swaah situation, the commenting board is always open.
