Usage notes

 * Interjectional usage of  has gained significant distance (though perhaps not quite complete independence) from the imperative form of in which it originated. One consequence of this development is that, while it retains a certain imperative thrust, the interjection is not necessarily affected by T-V distinction — that is to say, it may be directed toward someone whom the speaker would address with the familiar pronoun  or the deferential . An especially clear demonstration of this phenomenon (arguably the clearest) can be observed in the phrase  — which appears to be composed of both second-person imperatives (the plural/deferential and familiar singular) of, though the first is actually this now-independent interjection. Similar in form,  — in which the interjection is joined by the familiar imperative of.
 * The corresponding familiar imperative is also used as an interjection, overlapping with  in some uses, distinct in others.
