The phrase is actually "oy vey" and it is the Yiddish phrase meaning "oh brother", used as an exclamation. That is, unless you actually mistyped the word "of" and you were asking for the definition of "bay". That is:

Definitions of bay on the Web:

  • an indentation of a shoreline larger than a cove but smaller than a gulf
  • the sound of a hound on the scent
  • true laurel: small Mediterranean evergreen tree with small blackish berries and glossy aromatic leaves used for flavoring in cooking; also used by ancient Greeks to crown victors
  • a compartment on a ship between decks; often used as a hospital; "they put him in the sick bay"
  • a compartment in an aircraft used for some specific purpose; "he opened the bomb bay"
  • utter in deep prolonged tones
  • alcove: a small recess opening off a larger room
  • bark with prolonged noises, of dogs
  • a horse of a moderate reddish-brown color

There are many definitions for "bay". Those are just a few.
