A slang term used widely in the US Army, hooah has many meanings. The most prevalent is "my brain is switched off, but my mouth is working anyway," or "you're an idiot, but you're also my superior officer, and I need a good evaluation, so sure, whatever you want." A synonym of the word 'like' as used by teenage girls. A filler word used in conversation, without meaning. Hooah may also be considered by the intellectually-challenged as proof of motivation, i.e. a soldier who is being being evaluated in a leadership training environment, must in some way prove that he/she is 'motivated'. Rather than focusing on delivering superior performance or demonstrating a high level of capability by which to be evaluated, the wise soldier will instead yell 'hooah' loudly and repeatedly at colleagues in order to sufficiently motivate them. (Hooah, like 'utilize,' should be stricken from the Army vocabulary.)

An Army term used to convey any one of a number of feelings or statements. It is used most vigorously by pogues. A good rule of thumb is the weaker a soldier's MOS is, the louder and more pronounced he will sound off with HOOAH.

Generally used in the military. Weird Army and Marine people will say that it is "ahooha", "hoora", or something similar, but the correct, historical pronunciation is "hooah".
Anything and everything positive. Also used as an affirmative response to a question.

Army wives who don't cheat or lie or steal their husbands money while they are deployed. They are also the coolest, sweetest, strongest group of women you'll ever meet. And if you mess with their soldier they'll kick your ass!

girl #2 "You're so not a hooah wife."
