About

The word "矮油" is formed by using the characters "矮" (ǎi) and "油" (yóu) solely for their phonetic values to mimic the sound of the spoken exclamation "aiyo", often used to convey surprise or annoyance; the literal meanings of the characters are irrelevant in this context, as it is a phonetic loan word created for written representation of a casual vocal expression.
