/Sounds like "ee" (as in "see") + "HOH" + "leh" (as in "let" without "t")/
A Mexican exclamation of surprise, worry, or regret that comes out automatically when something unexpected happens. It's a mild euphemism everyone understands and you can say in front of your grandma no problem.
"Híjole, I forgot about the appointment!"
"Híjole, that's really complicated."
