If we brought back sexy, why not booyah? In sixth grade, verbally expressing “booyah” was a perfectly legitimate way of telling your friends you got one over on them. So, why when I’m nearly thirty, am I expected to drop my old slang friend? We were pretty tight booyah and I.
According to dictionary.com, when learning a new word, it’s helpful to use it in a sentence a few times a day. Here are some suggested ways of bringing booyah back in various settings:
At work:
Gee Todd, I had no idea you were getting this promotion. I was really hoping it would be awarded to me.
Oh, yeah, Tina? Well, booyah!
At home:
Honey, I thought you were going to take out the trash tonight?
Well, I was but the game is on tonight. Can’t it wait?
No, it definitely cannot. Booyah!
With family, at Christmas:
Wow! Little Timmy has gotten so big. He’s a cutie.
He sure is and he’s almost as cute as my child, Angela. Booyah!
I think it’s pretty obvious how the word booyah is not only completely versatile but needs to be brought back today for our expressive enjoyment. Don’t forget to use it in a sentence this week!
Oh, no ma’am. Angela’s imaginary child is cuter. BooYah!!
okay, how do you say booyah???
is it boy yah?
or boo yah?

This is too weird…. Daniel and I just taught Lilah to say booyah this month and Amanda, my sister, was appalled thinking it was some kind of bad word b/c she had never even heard it! So, then Daniel and I were in the car driving back home trying to think of the true definition of booyah… well, look no more! 🙂
