I don't know that it has much more meaning than "sheesh" or "geez." It's Yiddish, kind of an all purpose way of expressing exasperation. Most people use it with "oy," as in "Oy, gevalt, my back is killing me," or "Oy gevalt, this train is slow."
Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.
A Maggers Haiku, 2005
Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.
