In England, "hoy" is primarily an interjection, an informal and somewhat old-fashioned way to attract attention or to drive animals, similar to "hey" or "hallo". It has nautical origins, being used to hail ships or crew members, and was also used by those herding swine. The word "hoy" also refers to a type of small, coastal ship, historically used for transport and by the British Royal Navy
