What a holiday
Hi guys. I have a question about when to use expressions that start with the word " what"
For example, if I am having fun with my friends at a party on a holiday, then I could say :"what a holiday" refering to something good or nice for me.
In the case that in a holiday I have to work when my friends are having fun, can I say the same expression sarcatically? like What a holiday eh?

All right Juan ZZZ. I know that when something doesn't turn out the way you want you can say: so much for my holiday As for What a holiday! in an ironic tone, I think it's also possible.

Thanks for the responses guys.
When you see a pretty girl on the street, you can say: "what a chick"
What about if there are many pretty girls? How do you make up the sentence with the word "what"?
