The first powerful and energetic "hoorah" was stated by Laterrian. He is black. This term is used to pump up the confidence and to give a boost to the men chanting it. Usually used by men, but some women who are found to be homosexual, will steal the catchphrase from the guys. Usually chanted from a single guy, and myriad men chant it back in a louder fashion.
Laterrian: "hoorah"

Guys: "HOORAHHHH!!!!"
