what does it mean in the quote "yippee ki-yay mother ******"
2007-07-04 17:03:53 · update #1
Whether any self-respecting cowboy EVER said "Yippee-ki-yay" is open to debate, but it is supposed to be a cowboy expression of extraordinary happiness or joy. It's more often been sung than said. As for the "mother-------" part...well...that's just somebody being sarcastic.

"Yippee ki aay, Yippee ki ooh, Ghostriders in the Sky" written 1948 by Stan Jones and recorded by Vaughn Monroe and Burl Ives in 1949. That's 6 years before Bruce Willis was born

I think it is a variant of "woopie-ti-yi-yay" from "Git Along Little Dogies," a traditional cowboy ballad.

Its a quote from Bruce Willis in the first (and 3rd) "Die Hard" movie.
By his character officer John McClain.
