It's a Russian interjection that I picked up reading Marvel comics.

I've often heard Slovak friends say this, but didn't know it's true origin.
I believe it means, "Oh, my God!"

ROTFLMAO!!! I read it as (let's see how good my phonetic rendering is
here) "boash-MWA", where boa is pronounced like it is in 'boat.' The
resident Slovak missed it! LOL!!

That'd be Boze moi (the hacek over the z is missing that makes it a zh
sound) -- BOHzheh moy -- "My God!"
