Definition
An exclamation expressing joy, excitement, or triumph.
Etymology
American slang from the late 1800s, possibly derived from yip or yip-yap (excited sounds). The exact origin is uncertain, but it became popular as enthusiastic American youth slang.
Kelly Says
Yippee is pure, unfiltered excitement—it's what a kid yells when school's cancelled, not what they say politely. The word became iconic in American culture through 'Yippee!' magazine and cartoons, representing unbridled joy.
