Orale is a Mexican Spanish exclamation expressing agreement, encouragement, surprise, or enthusiasm—roughly equivalent to "all right," "come on," or "hell yeah" depending on context.
It appears frequently in Chicano English and Mexican American communities: Órale, let's do this.
The word can acknowledge what someone said, urge them forward, or simply punctuate conversation with approval.
