huzzah
Old-fashioned hurrah
Huzzah is an old-fashioned exclamation of joy, approval, or triumph—a cheer: Huzzah! The king approaches!
It sounds deliberately archaic, often used playfully or ironically to celebrate minor victories: I finally fixed the printer. Huzzah!
Renaissance fairs and period dramas keep it alive.
