The phrase originated as a running joke on sci-fi series Red Dwarf in reference to the ship's emergency siren. It was, for some time popularized by fans of Red Dwarf and was later used by Red Dwarf star Craig Charles on his 1993 game show Cyberzone. Craig used the phrase in much the same context as on Red Dwarf (when the game show sirens were sounded) and it became a 'catch phrase' of sorts for Craig on the game show, but was also a reference to the Red Dwarf joke.

John Fashnu picked up the catch phrase after appearing on Craig's show 'Cyberzone' as a guest, and subsequently copied it for himself on Gladiators. This caused much upset amongst fans of both Red Dwarf and Craig Charles, not only because he had copied the phrase, but used it incorrectly as a personal 'catch phrase' of his own.

cool version of Eurika (I found it!).
Derives from sound of alarm (Awooga Awooga!).
See "The Awooga Waltz" from Red Drawf (British Comedy Sciu-fi TV show).Red Dwarf starred Craig Charles - hence used in later Robot wars as welcome...

Created and first used by the Awooga brothers, Fash the bash, Kris Akabusi and Craig Charles, Awooga is a sign of excitement, happiness and an utterance of agreement.

Coined by John Fashanu on the hit tv series 'Gladiators' Awooga is a noise made to express delight upon recieving some positive news. This sound is most effective when accompanied by the right hand been thrown in a circular fist motion.

1. The noise a submarine makes before it dives.
2. The sound of an old car horn.

It refers to a girl with enormous breasts. The term awoogas originated from the sound an observer would make upon seeing the above mentioned enormous breasts.

Used to bring attention to something, especially the presence of a troll within a forum.
