A large, fast fish found in warm oceans, related to mackerel and prized by sport fishers; also an exclamation of excitement.
The fish name may derive from an indigenous language. The exclamation use is onomatopoetic, imitating a shout of joy, popularized in American English.
Wahoo fish are among the fastest fish in the ocean and can reach speeds of 60 mph—they're like the fighter jets of the sea, which is why sport fishers consider catching one such an incredible achievement.
