What is Okaya?
1.
Used when someone is being melodramatic (like saying "I'm going to die of rabies") and so you propose a reasonable solution (like "Get a shot of the vaccine") and that person acts as if you were overreacting.
-Are you going to get a rabies shot?
-I would, but my next door neighbor Dr G-, his "infectious disease specialist friend, the animal control guy, the emt guy, my doctor, my uncle whose a vet and my little brother all say I don't need it. So just chill, I think they know better than you.
-Okaya.
