A motivational cry used by the United States Marine Corps. Sometimes also used as a general response to an order or question. Recon Marines in Korea (1953), traveling by submarine, often heard the dive klaxon which sounded like "Aarrugah." These Marines began using the word as a motivational tool, but it was too long and slowly became modified into what it is today. It was popularized during the 80s and 90s.

Ooya Basket 

A proper Leicester phrase used by natives of Leicester.

This phrase is used when a sudden or surprising moment, event or experience takes place which generally involves shock, amazement or awe.

The word "Ooya" precedes the word basket the more the moment or event is amazing or astonishing.

The uniqueness of the phrase "ooya basket" also requires the one who utters it to strech the two words to further emphasise the astoundment of the moment or event. This can mean that the phrase can end up as "oooooya baaaaaasket!" when a crazy incident takes place.

This phrase can be heard on a daily basis on the streets of Leicester.

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?
