"Boo-Yah"

Im wondering where that came from. Around here "booyah" is a traditional belgian chicken vegetable soup that you eat at big outdoor parties and sell to make money for the church.

I was entirely confused for days when I started seeing excited kids on tv yelling about "Belgian chicken soup". Its good but Im not sure that Id yell about it...

In Joliet, we used to say "Boo-Yah..."

I believe the origin of the term came from inner-city gangstas describing the sound their sawed-off shotguns make. Another of their charming additions to our cultural lexicon.
