A violent blow or punch, especially one received for staring at someone inappropriately. It also serves as a vulgar exclamation of shock or intense frustration when receiving bad news, such as an unplanned pregnancy with someone off-limits. Essentially, it signals that serious trouble is happening or about to happen. If you hear someone shout it, it is best to leave or keep quiet to avoid a major problem.
A mess: a term for a huge problem caused by neighborhood gossip that results in police intervention and causes a stampede of bystanders. A typical use would be saying someone got themselves into a vaina, meaning they have landed in deep trouble.
