The good news is that it means you can feel free to spell it however you want. So the bad news is that while it’s widely accepted that the phrase crossed the border from Mexico, the rest of the details are unfortunately rather vague and up for debate. It appears in a number of Spanish/Mexican songs, and this writer remembers hearing it as a kid from the Power Ranger character Alpha 5, who consistently said “ay yi yi” during times of distress. Nor is it clear how, when, or why the “ay” changed into “yai” and “yi” in spelling and pronunciation, but we’ve seen many uses of this phrase throughout pop culture, all of which obviously have some impact on how the common man uses and spells the phrase.

What the hell does that mean, anyway? And where does it come from? It’s amazing how often we use phrases out of habit and inferred meaning rather than an understanding of what we’re actually saying.
