Translations to be checked

Note: There is a systematic error in the entries below. "Vole" refers to hundreds of small rodent species living in all kinds of habitats. Many, but probably not all, of the translations refer to the "water vole", which is just one of the many species. When translating "vole" into other languages, one should look for words that refer to the voles as a group. Further details can be found on the Wikipedia articles on vole and on many of the species.

Interjection

vole!

1. man!

Usage notes

• This interjection is considered vulgar by some people, its primary meaning being "you ass"; however, it is today quite frequently used in very informal speech without any vulgar overtones, either as a friendly address or as an emphasizer; some people lard their talk with it without its having any meaning (similarly to the way some people use "fuck" in English, but "vole" is not so strong). It is often used in the form "ty vole".
