Diaryah

Diaryah: interjection. The sound produced by a person when he discovers his diary after arduous searching. The word was first used in literature in 1678 by John Bunyan in his infamous novel "The Pilgrim's Progress". The word was used by the major character after discovering his cheese and milk in a pantry, it was apparently a typo. Oxford scientists have warned that the word should not be confused with diarrhoea, as that could have disastrous consequences for diaries worldwide.
