"HOOAH"
(who-a) .adj. (slang used by soldiers, primarily airborne/ rangers) referring to or meaning anything and everything except “NO”
So, where did the term originate? The simple answer is that nobody knows, although there are dozens of theories. Heck, nobody can even agree on the correct spelling of this widely used military "word."
"No matter how one might spell the word -- with or without a hyphen, a U instead of two Os, and so on -- the word is still an expression of high morale, strength and confidence. And, when powered by an overwhelmingly proud, and usually loud, tone of voice, hooah seems to stomp out any possibility of being bound by the written word. "
Here is my take on the word "HOOAH" FROM MY TAKE IN the U.S. Army
