I was watching Young & the Restless soap this past week. A character by the name of Kevin said Booyah several times. I thought it was hilarious.

Jessica's family did not coin the term. There was a guy on Amazing Race a few years ago that used it ad nauseam.

Did I say Jess's family coined the term? Don't think so. Just thought it was funny when I heard it on the soap.

Nah, wasn't saying that. Isn't it a term used by one of the branches of the military or something like that?

I think it's been around for a while- it's even in the urban dictionary but when I hear it, it sure reminds me of Jessica. A friend of mine said it just yesterday when we made top 10 in the trivia national rankings. LOL. She watched BB too.

I remember now for the Amazing Race fans, it was Ian of Terry/Ian. He said it ALL the time, and he did have a military background. I don't remember what season they were on, but I think they finished 2nd or 3rd, so they were in the race for a long time.

I remember because when Jess started saying it, I thought, oh no, not again. LOL

Tweenies have been using Booya for a long time. My son uses it as his sign on for at yeast 3 years.

Jim Cramer, who hosts Mad Money on CNBC, most likely popularized the term. He and callers to his show say it when a stock has done well.

This is funny, when I saw the thread I thought Jessica was going to be on an episode!

Booyah is originally from the Marines, we have a tackle store, now there is a line of spinner baits and lures named Booyah.

Realurker, sorry for the confusing thread title lol. I wonder if Jess's dad was a marine and that's how they got started saying it?

My 8 year old says "booyah" all the time and has no interaction with any marines. It's a pretty common saying... In fact it is very common on shows on Cartoon Network.

I realize that NOW it's a common saying, was just trying to figure out where it originated. It had to start somewhere.

The funny thing is, in reality Booya is a type of stew made in huge vats. Here's the Wiki...

Booyah is used by the US Army. Her brother was in the Army. That's where she get's it from.

As for Kevin on the Young & Restless, he has been saying it off an on for the last year or two.

Booyah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Booyah or Booya is a food that is prepared like a stew, but on a very large scale. It takes many cooks to prepare the food, and it is usually meant to serve hundreds or even thousands of people. The name booyah is also used to describe the event surrounding the meal, and is probably a degenerated form of the name bouillabaisse, or as a mis-interpretation of the French word bouillon by a newspaper reporter (see history).
In the cooking of booyah, one makes a base or broth derived from culinary bones to which other food can be added. Beef, chicken, and pork are popular meats for booya, and vegetables such as carrots, rutabagas, celery, and potatoes are also put into the mix. A wide variety of seasonings are often used.
The preparation of booya often takes up to two days, generally cooked in specially designed booyah kettles that can hold more than 50 gallons of the stew. Generally made for charity events, some community groups and churches have their own kettles, while other groups rely on municipal kettles. Highland Park in St. Paul, Minnesota, has a shed with 5 kettles which can have a total yield of 350 gallons of booyah. The kettles have been around for several decades, but as of December 2003, there is controversy regarding the safety of the burners used to heat them.

History

The name Booyah likely originated in Green Bay, WI, by the booyah "pioneer" Andrew Rentmeester around 1905. In an article of the Green Bay Press-Gazette dated October 29, 1976, it reads:
Lester (Rentmeester) relates recollections of his schoolteacher father, Andrew, probably the "pioneer" of the chicken booyah supper. "At the old Finger Road School where he taught, funds were always in short supply," he recalls. "So my father hit on the idea of a community picnic to raise money for the school. He went around to parents and neighbors, gathering up beef and chickens for the traditional Belgian soup that would be the main dish at the benefit affair. And he also went down to the office of the old Green Bay Gazette, looking for publicity." The writer handling the news of the benefit picnic, so the story goes, asked what would be served. "Bouillon -- we will have bouillon," came the reply, with the word pronounced properly in French. "The young reporter wrote it down as he heard it," Rentmeester relates. "It came out 'booyah' in the paper. It was booyah the first time it was served at Holy Martyrs of Gorcum Church -- an affair my father also originated -- and that's what people have called it ever since."
The traditional stew is still made in Northeastern Wisconsin at church picnics and county fairs. At some of these events, Booyah-making contests occur, in which local masters of booyah-making compete to make the best tasting bowl of booyah. A local legendary booyah master is Randy Rentmeester, commonly referred to as "Handel" and a descendant of Andrew Rentmeester.
In 1995, William Shatner hosted a Booyah Cook-Off in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which over 2500 people attended.

There's a booya cook off every October in the town I live in. You can stroll down the street and sample everyone's booya or take home a pail to eat, if you prefer. It's usually spelled booya when I've seen it advertised in Minnesota.

Nicole Richie used to say booyah on the simple life, too. Seems like she tried to get a farmer they were working for to say it, and he looked at her like, wtf? LOL

I thought Jessica's brother was a marine? I'm pretty sure it was a very common phrase among marines.

Jess' brother is indeed a Marine, but the Marine phrase is actually "Oo-rah" . Very close! :-)

I used to say Booyah back in the late 70s whenever I made a big jump with my BMX bike, and I think I got it from some tv show or movie, so it's been around much longer than just a few years. That article from 1976 seems to suggest it's been around even longer, but the current context that it's used has probably been around for at least 30 years. Booyah!
