The expression BooHaa originated within a diminutive town in Derbyshire. Its first usage can be traced back to a small clan of people known as the Lampers.
Initially used by one of the clan’s legendary members, the term BooHaa has become a more increasingly accepted form of communication amongst the Lamper clan.
It is more typically used when Lampers communicate through online networks and messenger programmes; however a gradual transition into verbal communication has been seen in recent months.
The phrase Boohaa can be used to convey a variety of moods, feelings, thoughts and emotions, having multiple ways in which it can be expressed dependent upon tone of spoken voice or style of written communication.
BooHaa can be used sarcastically or to show sadness/euphoria/boredom, BooHaa can also be used to console or congratulate but more habitually it is found as a greeting on text messages sent between fellow clan members.
Verbally:
Sarah 7 balls Ben at pool.
Jake would utilize the word ‘BOOHAA’ to congratulate Sarah, however he would then lower the tone (sarcastically) to ‘BooHaa’ to console Ben.

Text messenging:
Jake: I’m bored BOOHAA!! Beer anyone??

Response:
1, Gaz: BOOHAA!! (This would be taken as a yes)
2, Nic: BooHooHaa!! (This would be taken as no)

Online Networking/messaging program:
Emma 1: Boohaa (Used as: Hello/how you doing?)
Mat 2: BOOOOOOHAAAAAA (In response: I’m great and you?)

Imagine a penis with nubs that is wearing a turtle necked sweater that comes all the way to the head. Now imagine this penis is fat, has stubby arms and legs and dances around while acid inspired graphics spin in the backgroud. You have just imagined the pilot episode of the boohbahs.

A very disturbing children's show from Britain. Like their forerunners, the Teletubies, they have been smuggled onto public television in the United States of America. Unlike other things that have come to America from Britain, such as monty python and the Beatles, this show has no value of any type.
They are round creatures that look as if they had become entangled in seperate colors of christmas lights, each one being it's own color, with five in all. They appear to move about by flatulation, giving new meaning to the expression "farting around". Despite their cute appearance, they are, in fact, the spawn of Hell and the servants of Satan. They seek to make the next generation docile and complacent, so that when the final battle comes, they will be either too stupid or too scared to fight. This was formerly the task given to the Teletubies, but their cover was exposed.
Here are some words of warning to anyone who may catch a glimpse of these mostrosities while flipping channels, wash your eyes! If, for any reason, you find them to be, in any way, shape, or form, "cute", seek mental health counseling immediately. In case you have become attracted to them in any way( esp. sexually), kill yourself before you spread this plague.

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
