Hahaha, I think it can be used in many didfferent contexts.
Maybe you catch someones attention:
"Oi, Amoniel, listen to me" 
Or maybe to tell someone something
"Oi, Amoniel, a motobike is headed your way!" _________________

What??? Oi, you say?
Well, I'm not sure I use it... maybe I do... my native language isn't English (though I do use some English words and phrases when speaking).
When would I use it?  _________________ >>Be the change you wish to see in the world<<

You could say:
"Oi Alessae, reply to your PM, please"
And I'd go
"I can't be bothered right now, I'm almost falling asleep"

Oi? well i don't know if it has a real meaning but it's used as a slightly aggressive word. A lot of punk songs use Oi.

Ah yes... what a wonderful word that can mean about anything...
Hmm, I always thought that it was spelled Oy, but Oi looks good as well. Maybe it can be spelled either way. Or I could be completely wrong, since I am an awful speller.  _________________

Ah, that's a real Aussie word  We use it likes this: "Oi!! What you doing?" I guess oi is a silly substitute for, hey!! _________________   Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says....I'll try again tomorrow

I think I'm one of the few Americans who uses "oi" as a regular word. It's not like my favorite word or anything, but I've been known to use it when I'm frustrated or just feeling random.

I use it as...
-*sigh* oi... (when I'm frustrated)
-Oi! (yay!)
-oi, bob, could you please do blank blank blank (sort of a substitute for 'oh')
-OI! (DRAT!)
