ostras
/ˈostɾas/ · B2 · intj
jeez, blimey, yikes, darn it
🦪 ostras = oysters, shouted like English 'oysters!' when something goes wrong
Ostras literally means oysters. It works as a mild stand-in for the stronger curse 'hostias', much like 'darn' replaces 'damn'. Say it when something goes wrong or surprises you.
