"Fui." Dear Penni, is this a mild exclamation of frustration or the password to your soul in some Asian language?

There is a word which I believe sounds the same, which I have always spelled "fooey". Now that I think of it, this is a most interesting word. Does anyone have a word origins dictionary? I would be quite curious to know its history. I can sort of hear the Wife of Bath uttering such a word; I wonder if it was around in Chaucer's time.

Now where is that charming Thomas when he is clearly needed?
