Spanish term or phrase: ¡vaya!
¡Hola!
¡ Yo Soy MmyDu!
En realidad me llamaba Dummy… pero tras la primera prueba de choque me volvieron a montar cambiando el orden de las piezas y... ¡vaya!
¡Pero con el tiempo le he cogido cariño a mi nuevo nombre!
Estoy aquí porque cada uno de vosotros recorre habitualmente todo tipo de carreteras por diversas razones: llevar los niños al colegio, hacer recados, ir al trabajo, volver a casa o desplazarse de la oficina a otros lugares donde se requiere vuestra intervención.


Obrigado!

Puxa!
Explanation:
"Puxa!" no sentido de admiração e de algum desânimo também.

1. Expressão designativa de espanto, irritação ou impaciência. = ARRE, CARAMBA, IRRA, LIVRA, POÇA

"puxa", in Dicionário Priberam da Língua Portuguesa [em linha], 2008-2013, https://www.priberam.pt/dlpo/puxa [consultado em 19-05-2017].

Também a interjeição "Ena!" mais talvez mais para espanto, ou surpresa.

Penso que no Brasil vale "Poxa!", com "o", não sei é se vai com ou sem acento circunflexo.

Pronto


Explanation:
O termo "Vaya" é usado para inúmeras coisas, tanto positivas como negativas. Entendo, que na frase em questão refere-se que ao trocar as pecas e pronto, se formou outro nome.
