An exclamation of excitement, usually in regards to totally caliente chicks. Also used to describe a feeling of optimism and general well being. See psyched, def. 1. This expression reflects the overall impression of the Telemundo network, colored with images of ravishing, curvacious girls, jovial gamesters, voguing MCs and adrenaline-fueled action. The expression was brought to national attention on ABC's
short-lived but entertaining television series Maximum
Bob (1998). In
one episode
Bob Gibbs (portrayed by Beau Bridges) is happy that things are going his way. He is elated, and feeling great. He beams, "Telemundo,
baby!" Used in the same vein as the Austin Powers' exclamation: "Yeah,
baby!"
