giddyap
Rider's starting word
Giddyap is a command to a horse meaning "go" or "go faster," typically shouted while riding or driving a horse-drawn vehicle: Giddyap! Let's get moving!
The word imitates the clucking sounds riders make to urge horses forward.
It appears in various spellings—giddyup, giddy-up, giddy-ap—all representing the same exclamation.
