hoorah
Old-fashioned victory cry
Hoorah is an exclamation of enthusiasm, approval, or triumph—a variant of hooray.
It carries a military flavor, especially associated with the U.S.
Marines, where it functions as a battle cry, greeting, or all-purpose affirmation: Hoorah, let's move out!
Outside military contexts, it expresses general excitement or celebration.
