HUA is the vocal grunt that goes with the "fist-pumping" gesture, usually resembling someone pulling down on an overhead handle, that usually indicates success or satisfaction. This in turn evolved from a pantomime of dominant rear-entry sex, resembling someone pulling something toward their midsection with both hands.

While used sometimes at sporting events by spectators and players, "HUA" has been adapted in widespread use in the U.S. Army to indicate solidarity (usually agreement but not always). Common retronyms include "Heard And Acknowledged" or "Head Up Ass" as well as the folk etymology "Who, us?" Has been heard as "oo-rah" in the late 80's/early 90's.
