Do the phrases Hooah, or Oo-Rah bother you, to the point of causing exasperation?

I don't mind it, but don't use it. When it means everything you have to know what version you're getting. Yes, No, or Rodger is fine. But if it's used at the end of a knife hand, I know something's screwed up and I'm about to pay dearly.

It doesn't bother me coming from a fellow veteran, but when a civilian says it, I can't help but think that it is military speak and should be reserved to those. I never say anything, I just quietly disengage.

I never heard hooah til I actually arrived at reception station... it was weird and alien to me and after about 3 days of it, I just asked another guy "does 'hooah' basically mean everything?" and we kinda laughed. he said hooah. we stopped laughing and said "fuck... gonna put that right next to all the other shit we're going to hear 200 million times a day"
I always thought it just sounded dumb and I felt dumb saying it. now I say with a dumb tone while watching people play soldier on TV, and over teamspeak when playing crap like Battlefield or CoD lol.
one day I was trolling the hell out of a gang of people yelling HOOAH after every single thing I said. ...one guy out of 16 was laughing. he messaged me later and said he was a vet and hearing me do that was making his stomach hurt from laughing... :D

mostly because of the pimple faced nerds who kept saying "SHUT UP" and "DUDE STOP SAYING THAT" and "what does that even mean" ...which made me and the other guy laugh even harder.
