Beg to differ: I'm sure it is in the dictionary. It is an expression of joy, but it also has another meaning: a hick or a yokel. Someone who is not very worldly.
However, when you finally find the answer you are looking for, "Yahoo!" seems like an appropriate thing to say.

a yahoo is a simpleton from the very rural areas ,hardly civilized,more than likely illiterate ,who does not wash regularly and speaks with his mouth full when he is eating
very often inbred
ALSO cowboys shout it when they are full of beans
this is what it says in the dictionary
trust me
