hubba hubba
Retro wolf whistle
Hubba hubba is an exclamation expressing enthusiastic appreciation for someone's physical attractiveness, typically directed at a woman by a man.
The phrase originated as American military slang in the 1940s and retains a cheerfully dated, wolf-whistle quality: Hubba hubba, look at her!
It's playful rather than serious, often used ironically or nostalgically.
