Ayuda me por favor
I have heard what, to my ear, sounds like ''holeen''. I thought it would be written, ''jolin''.
Any one know what it is I heard?

Jolín o Jolines is an exclamation meaning something like "flip" or "flipping hell".
Are you talking about a Spanish word you heard? If so, then you might have heard "jolín or "jolines." It´s an expression people use when they´ve "had it up to here."
An example: At a party I was at, they started the movie Spiderman for the kids. One of the little girls was fidgeting until she just burst out, "¡Jolines! ¡No quiero mirar Spiderman! ¡Odio esta película!"
I have also heard a coworker sigh the word loudly when she finds out she has a ton of work to do. For example, she is sitting at her desk and then realizes she has to re-do all the work from yesterday because there was an error entering the information into the system. Instead of an "ugh," she says "¡JOLINES!"
You learn something new everyday I've never heard that before.
