Answer 3

It is an old cowbay call. It is featured in an old cowboy song, which lyrics I remember, but title I do not. It sang...Yippie-Ki-Yi-AY, git along little doggies, it`s your misfortune and none of my own. Yippie Ki-Yi Yay, git along little doggies, You`re gonna make wyoming your home. Bruce`s version is just a shortened version.

Answer 4

It's something that cowboys say in the rodeo, allegedly, I'm pretty sure its a thing of the past, or just a stereotype of cowboys. It's fun to say, though. I agree.

Answer 5

It doesn't mean anything, it is just a catch phrase they gave to Willis to make him look "bad ***" in Die Hard. Like Terminator "Hasta La Vista Baby" (except that does mean something)

Answer 6

In the first movie he explains it. it's a reference to Roy Rogers.

Answer 7

The way I always looked at it was: WOOHOO!
Or: Let's go!

I don't know what it REALLY means though lol.

Answer 8

Another phrase for Woohoo! or Yay! or Yahoo!. :P

Answer 9
