"ammehoela" meaning in All languages combined

See ammehoela on Wiktionary

Interjection [Dutch]

IPA: /ɑ.məˈɦu.laː/ Audio: Nl-ammehoela.ogg
Etymology: First attested in c. 1928. An alteration of ammenooitniet, itself a minced oath from aan mijn reet (“(at) my arse”), probably derived from Amanoellah, from Dari [Term?], from Arabic أَمَان الله (ʔamān allāh), referring to the Afghan king Amanullah Khan, who went on a widely reported tour of Europe in 1927-1928 and had to flee Afghanistan following an uprising in 1929. The interjection was initially accompanied by a slap on one's behind; the fact that Amanullah had been ‘booted out’ of his country may possibly have reinforced this association in the popular imagination.
