arriba

Celebratory Mexican shout

Arriba is a Spanish exclamation meaning "up" or "upward," used in English to express excitement, encouragement, or celebration.

It appears in the phrase ¡Arriba, arriba! familiar from cartoon depictions of Mexican characters, and in toasts or cheers: Arriba!

The word retains its Spanish flavor and is often used playfully or to evoke Latino culture.
