"Hooah"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooah

Hooah (pronounced /ˈhuːˌɑː/) is a U.S. Army battle cry used[1] by soldiers "Referring to or meaning anything and everything except no."[2]

 

Other popular usages of hooah include:[4]

  • "Heard, understood and acknowledged" (backronym as "HUA")
  • What to say when at a loss for words
  • "Good copy"
  • "Roger," "solid copy," "good," "great," "message received," "understood," "acknowledged"
  • "Glad to meet you," "welcome"
  • "All right!"
  • "Thank you"
  • "Go to the next slide"
  • "You've taken the correct action"
  • "Amen!"
  • "Outstanding!"
  • "That's cool" or "that's OK." As in, "That's hooah."
  • To motivate another soldier.
  • Anything and everything except "no."

I don't think anyone defined that for me, it is just something you "KNOW".... but just in case you didn't... there it is!
