whoop
Shout of joy
Whoop is a loud cry of excitement, joy, or enthusiasm: The crowd let out a whoop when the home team scored.
To whoop is to make such a cry: They whooped and hollered all night.
Whooping cough takes its name from the gasping intake of breath that follows coughing fits.
To whoop it up is to celebrate noisily.
Not worth a whoop means worthless.
