Trivia
"Hoo-rah" is a military acronym (usually yelled by Drill Sargents to Boots) from the acronym "HUA" which is often pronounced "hoo-ah" or in this case "hoo-rah." HUA stands for "Heard, Understood, Acknowledged." Over the years, in the US Army this phrase has taken on many meanings including; "understood?", "thanks", "I'm not listening to you", "go away", "you're a moron", "excellent!", "shutup", etc. See more »Goofs
