Thai term or phrase: ฮีโท่
An exclamation or oath. In this context, the the young male speaker is about to say he has done better than his friend. Is it a variation of พุทโธ่ + word play on female anatomy, or something else. How original/novel, how intense/crude is it? How would you translate it? Thanks.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Soonthon, I don't think alas will work here. Alas is an expression of regret. Here the speaker is boasting. Thanks.
