Oy.

Is this "Oy, we're in trouble, just like Jack says," or "Oy, Jack just said something stupid"?

I don't know what "Oy" means. Can you clarify?

Traditionally, "an exclamation typically expressing mild frustration or expressing feelings of uncertainty or concern."

I had thought that exclamation was spelled "Oi!"

Nah, that means like "hey!", I think. You might've reversed the two.
