I have heard, what to my ear sounds like holeen. I thought that it would be written jolin

I wonder if any one knows what it is one heard?

I thought it could along the lines of cool or no way.

Perhaps it was this:

¡Jolín! - WR

Ok, everyone needs to calm down. Warren, no need to be so aggressive.

The word you heard was "jolín." It means something along the lines of "shucks/darn/dang/omg."

It's a less offensive word that's used in place of another word that expresses the same meaning. A word I wont mention ( but i will say it starts with a "j" also and ends with an "r").

To my understanding, "jolín" is exclusively used in Spain.

Okay, no more quibbling guys!

Hi there, gringojrf is not supposed to answer because your post was incorrectly written. Those are the new rules. - 0095ca4c, Apr 21, 2012

If you are here to learn and as it says on your profile you are fluent in English, then why don't you write correctly?? You could just as well help those of us who are NOT fluent in English by using your knowledge and spell correctly, etc!

It's pure laziness to NOT write correctly when you can. And if you can't, then you shouldn't say you are "fluent" in English because obviously, you are not.

EDIT: This was posted after Warren insulted and laughed at Gringo's mistakes and posted nonsense about how he was wrong. This was not posted because of any tiny mistake in his title or whatever.
