The phrase "¡Ay caramba!" is roughly the same as "oh, woe!" -- an expression of grief or exasperation.

Although the etymology is likely from carajo (male sex organ), it is frequently used strongly to mean "hell" or [excrement].

Ay Caramba means to be surprised, or to be in pain in Spanish. The animated television show, The Simpsons, has a character called Bart Simpson that made the phrase Ay caramba more well known.

Is ay cramaba a curse?

"Ay caramba!" is a minced oath, meaning a curse that's been changed so it doesn't sound like a curse. The word "caramba" comes from the Spanish word "carajo," a slang word for male genitalia. Just like some people don't like the word "dang," some people won't like "Ay caramba." To most people, it won't be a curse, but to some it will be.

How do you moan in Spanish?

I have seen a moaning sound, referring to being in pain, written as "Ai!" Or sometimes "Ay!" (It is pronounced to rhyme with "try.") And sometimes, I have seen the name of God is invoked, as in "Ai dios!" And in some older sources, you may still see "Ay caramba!"-- this is used to express shock as well as pain.
