A curious thing... when I was in my thirties, post Vietnam, buffed and tough, with un-attainable vissions of the world, and perhaps thicker than I percieved myself to be...... I worked at a Truck Tire Shop in Anaheim California. There were several of us working, most had service trucks and a couple of us in the yard for local traffic. We all partied every time the opportunity availed itself and in the course of everyday we would play the Rock stations of which there were two. KLOS and KMET out of Los Angeles. In a show of bravado or for no reason at all we would holler a sound of HOO-Yaaa, as one woud say it, it usualy brought a chorous of HooYaaaa's This went on for some time and some of us were friends with others who were friends with others etc. The one guy Jim Ladd from KMET and another of their DJs Paraquat Kelly heard the HooYaaaa a few times and it quickly became a vernacular used in the opening remarks and show starts, and sometimes for no reason at all a HooYaaaa inturupted in the middle of anything, everything became game.
There were Jim, me Chris, Bruce, Vic, Hip, Delmer, Jackie, Mark, Pete, and Kenny who were the beginning of the trend, the novelty.. During those years in that location So-Cal you were always mingling with sem-famous or celebrity people, sometimes just your next door neighbor or cousins boyfriend..
Yea, I guess some words become trendy for a while.
