It's technically an Army term, which Wikipedia defines as "a battle cry... referring to or meaning anything and everything except
no." Some popular usages of Hooah include:
- Heard, understood, and acknowledged
- What to say when at a loss for words
- Roger, good copy
- Glad to meet you or Welcome
- All right!
- Eh?
- Thank you
- Did not hear what was said, but not going to ask to repeat.
However, a new-to-the-army wife (at the time, anyway) and very close friend of mine, when seeing this word on a random Facebook post of mine, was confused by the term and thought I was perhaps giving the phonetic spelling of "whore" with a Jersey-ish accent. Hooah. We thought this misunderstanding was hilarious, and henceforth have added
- Bad-ass and fabulous Army wife
to the list of Hooah definitions.
