Best known for its use by ESPN "Sportscenter" anchor Stuart Scott, this word is used to show defiance in the face of adversity, which MUST result in emphatic triumph.
The Boston Red Sox trailed the New York Yankees until "Big Papi" David Ortiz stepped to the plate, and Booyah!, Big Papi was off the hook!

A term expressing joy, excitement, or triumph. Can also be used as a substitute for almost all modern day positive slang. Also see "boo-yizzle".

the word is a positive exclamation of excitement. Interestingly enough, in spanish the word, "bulla" (pronounced booyah) means noise.... So it is a noise of joy, of excitement..

There is no definition by way of words. It is more of a feeling built up with a certain tension that manifests into a climactic blackhole of speechless expression... this blackhole can only be metaphorically constructed by speech with the so called 'word'...."booyah."
If "booyah" was in a thesaurus, it MIGHT have like terms such as:
-"OOOOO"
-"Take that!"
-"You just got served!"
-"Oh my God, the quarterback is toast!"
...and in Spanish, the translation of "booyah" would be:
-"Toma!" (which roughly translates into "Take That!")
-"OOOOO"
-"Take that!"
-"You just got served!"
-"Oh my God, the quarterback is toast!"
...and in Spanish, the translation of "booyah" would be:
-"Toma!" (which roughly translates into "Take That!")

A self-explanatory exclamation of dominance. Used to accredit one's self with a higher sense of worthiness and general superiority, “booyah” is a term with its roots found in Latin American origin. Today “booyah” is used to express elevated emotions of experiential eminence. Panzies take out the "h" and say "booya".
