<p>On google it says it means Wò cǎo, hold grass. On my translation app it means grip the grass! I know this term means like an expression of surprise, and similar to the curse word f*ck, but I’m not exactly sure. </p>

<p>For example in this passage: 
守灵的李七婶心里直叫：握草，听说过诈尸，没成想，今儿真遇上了！</p>

<p>What does it mean, how would I translate this passage? Please give me some clarification on this term!</p>

On google it says it means Wò cǎo, hold grass. On my translation app it means grip the grass! I know this term means like an expression of surprise, and similar to the curse word f\*ck, but I’m not exactly sure.

For example in this passage:
守灵的李七婶心里直叫：握草，听说过诈尸，没成想，今儿真遇上了！

What does it mean, how would I translate this passage? Please give me some clarification on this term!
