oh brother
Here we go
Oh brother is an exclamation of exasperation, disbelief, or weary frustration—the verbal equivalent of an eye roll.
It expresses that something is tiresome, ridiculous, or predictable: Oh brother, here we go again.
The phrase invokes no actual sibling; brother functions as a mild oath, like oh man or oh boy.
