  • Ah/aah/ahh/ooh - used for showing that you are happy, satisfied, or surprised.

That'll teach her to go chasing other women's husbands!


  • Hooray/hoorah/hurray/hurrah (audio) - a word that you shout to show that you are excited and happy about something; expresses joy, approval, or encouragement. Used as an exclamation of pleasure, approval, elation, or victory.
    You might shout, "Hooray!" when your favorite team wins a basketball tournament, or when your best friend receives a special honor during graduation. Hooray is a great word to write in response to someone's good news. The exclamation hooray was first used in the late 1600's, right around the same time as its synonym, hurrah. Huzza and huzzah are older words with the same meaning, and all of them are very similar to cheers in German, Danish, and Swedish.


    • Huzzah/hazzah (originally huzza, and in most modern varieties of English hurrah or hooray) - used as an exclamation of joy, applause, appreciation, etc.
    • I say, Winston, let's go fetch some tea and crumpets.
      Huzzah! (When hurray just isn't enough)














      Delicious, you are totally hoozah!
    • Hoozah - an interjection used in a joyous celebration. 






    • Halleluja/alleluia (humorous) - used for expressing happiness that something you had been waiting for or hoping for has happened. A shout of joy, praise, or gratitude.






      Yippee! It's Friday!
    • Yippee - an expression of happiness, wild excitement, pleasure, anticipation, or great satisfaction. Used to express joy or elation, exuberant delight or triumph. This word is used mainly by children.


    • Yippie ki-yay - an expression of joy, excitement. A Brief History of Yippee-Ki-Yay (Catchphrase used by Bruce Willis in all of the Die Hard films.)
      • Yippee ki-yay, we're gonna watch a movie!
    • Excellent (spoken) - used for showing that you are very pleased about something.


    Words like extraordinary (extremely good or impressive) and exceptional (unusually excellent) are similar in meaning to excellent. This is a strong word used mainly for things, people, and actions that are much better than average. A 'B+' on a test isn't bad, but an 'A' is excellent. In basketball, making an all-star team is excellent. Being excellent is difficult and people tend to admire it. People use excellent in another, less specific way sometimes. If you want to say "Cool" or "Good" you might say "Excellent!"








    • Awesome (informal, slang) - Excellent! Remarkable! Outstanding! Very impressive! Wonderful! Cool! Neat! This word is used mainly by young people.



      'How are you?' - 'Swell, just, swell!'
    • Swell (informal, dated, North American) - used as an expression of satisfaction, enthusiasm. Fantastic, great, wonderful, excellent, fine, first-class, first-rate.
    From old English, "'Tis well." Very popular in chatty movies of the 1930s, began to be used sarcastically in the '40s. 'How do you feel after that drinking binge last night? - Swell'. Nowadays, totally passe. It also can describe a wealthy, elegant person, like a group of swells at a fancy restaurant.
    I just won a million dollars? Sweeet!
    • Sweet (informal, slang) - used to express satisfaction, acceptance, pleasure, excellence, exaltation, approval, awe, or reverence. When used individually, the level of satisfaction expressed is most often directly proportionate to the duration of the vowel sound. 

    • Amazing (informal approving) - very good, impressive, excellent, especially in an unexpected way. Something that is so wonderful, it is hard to find the words to match. Something that makes your heart beat faster or your heart melt. Something that tops everything else, and always crosses your mind.

    • Wonderful - inspiring delight, pleasure, or admiration.



    • Lovely (mainly British informal) - used for saying you are pleased about something.
      What a girl! Lovely!

    From the Old English luflic “affectionate, loveable,” comes lovely, an adjective that describes a person’s or thing’s attractiveness. Find the word love in there — it's something so attractive you can't help but love it. Lovely can also refer to something delightful. For example, a pretty selection of cakes and pastries arranged on a doily could be described as lovely. Anything from your girlfriend to a fresh coat of red paint on your motorcycle can be lovely.


    • Good - an exclamation of approval, agreement, pleasure, satisfaction, etc. Expresses satisfaction, pleasure, agreement, (in some exclamatory phrases, surprise, consternation, etc.: orig. a euphemism for God: good! good grief!) Used for saying that you are pleased with someone, or are pleased about something; (a way of saying “well” that many people think is not correct).
    Adverbial good has been under attack from the schoolroom since the 19th century. Insistence on well rather than good has resulted in a split in connotation: well is standard, neutral, and colorless, while good is emotionally charged and emphatic. This makes good the adverb of choice in sports <“I'm seeing the ball real good” is what you hear — Roger Angell>. In such contexts as <listen up. And listen good — Alex Karras> <lets fly with his tomatoes before they can flee. He gets Clarence good — Charles Dickinson> good cannot be adequately replaced by well. Adverbial good is primarily a spoken form; in writing it occurs in reported and fictional speech and in generally familiar or informal contexts.

      This ale is prime!
    • Prime - of the first excellence, value, or importance.






    • Primo/premo (slang, also Austral) - exceptionally good of its kind; first-class; of the best quality. e.g. Man, did you check out that chick? She was primo!


    • Sick (slang, very informal, spoken) [not before noun] - used by young people to say that something is very impressive, attractive, enjoyable, excellent, awesome, cool, insane and they admire it a lot.
    The hair, make up and outfit is sick!
    She looks amazing!

    How did 'sick' come to mean 'awesome' or 'really good / cool' in modern slang? This usage reminds me of the use of 'bad' to mean 'totally awesome' in the 80s. 
    The OED says this slang is now especially used for skateboarding and surfing, and the first quotation is from a 1983 UNC-CH Campus Slang by the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill: Sick, unbelievably good. On the 1987 skateboarding video put out by Powell and Peralta entitled "The Search for Animal Chin" a skater did some cool trick or whatever, and a hardcore skateboarder onlooker used "that's sick". The word not so much means "cool", but carries a connotation more extreme than just that. It is used to describe something that is unbelievable, unprecedented, or just plain mind-blowing. Its originally a US slang and means something good or excellent, especially stylish or attractive. (quotes from English Language & Usage)


    • Crazy (slang) - used to express approval, pleasure, wonder, etc.: now rare. e.g. That's crazy, dude.

    • Dope (slang) - used to describe something as really good and extremely cool, as a generalized term of approval.

    That car is dope!
    I want to get a Porsche like that some day.
    Some young people (mostly young men) use this word to talk about thing that they really like. "Dope" is not rude or offensive, but it's not appropriate in formal situations, with people you don't know well, in the workplace, etc. In 1981, ‘dope’ made the leap from noun to adjective and, more importantly, from negative connotation to positive connotation, coming to mean excellent in the lexicon of the emerging hip-hop culture. A term that is widely used in texting and on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and elsewhere on the Internet.



    • Sik (Austral, slang) - excellent, cool, rad, mental, mad. "Did you just see that skyline?? It was fully sik bro!"

    • Schmick/smick (Austral, informal) - excellent, elegant, or stylish, very classy. Can also be an said to mean 'cool' 'allright' 'OK' or 'yeah' in response to a question. "Let's listen to some Redman." - "Schmick." The story behind the word.

    • Bewdy/bewty/beaty (Austral, informal) - used to express enthusiasm, pleasure or approval. An exclamation expressing a positive opinion for an event or object. Accompanying exclamation to a "thumbs-up" symbol in Australia."I scored us a couple of tickets to the match on Saturday." — "Bewdy, mate!"
    - Hey here’s that book you asked for.
    - Beauty, thanks.
    - No worries.

    • Beaut (Austral, informal) - something that you think is very good great, fantastic, terrific, excellent. Something or someone beautiful, extraordinary, remarkable, or amazing. (often used ironically)

    What a beaut! - a great thing.

    You beaut! (informal) - an exclamation of joy or pleasure.

    You little beauty, that's beaut, you bewdy - excited approval, something has gone really well; is roughly an equivalent to "Great!", "Fantastic!" or "Wonderful!". Example: "You little beauty." 'I won the lottery.' - 'That's beaut mate.' (Australian Slang Phrases)


    • Booshit (Austral, slang) - very good, excellent

    • Bully (informal, slang, chiefly North American) - fine; excellent; very good (1840s+). The statue really looked bully.

    In older times, the word 'bully' also had a couple of positive meanings, the only trace of which is left in the expression 'bully for you,' which is still occasionally used in British English. It's mostly used in a derisive or sarcastic way.

    • Bully for you/him! (informal, often ironic) - used to express admiration or approval, especially when the approval or praise is not sincere. A way of saying "Good for you!", "Kudos", "Well done!", "Bravo!" (1780s+) (dated, but still heard).
    He's getting away!

    Bully for him!

      Be careful! It's often used as a sarcastic phrase belittling someone's statement or accomplishment. Bob: I managed to save three dollars last week. Bill: Well, bully for you!

      Sometimes you say it when you do not think what someone has done deserves praise or admiration, although they think it does 'I cleaned the whole house yesterday.' 'Bully for you!'
      It wasn't always used in a sarcastic tone, but considering how it's changed over time, people do use it in that way.

        This is one badass camera.
      • Badass (US, youth slang, positive connotation) - something or someone considered impressive due to extreme attitudes, behavior or appearance. Awesome to an extreme level, thereby leveraging unquestionable authority. Excellent, wonderful, rad, slammin' (1980s+ College)

      • Great (informal) - very well/good, excellent, splendid, fine, fantastic.
      That's great, honey!

      • You got a new bike? - Cool!
        Cool (slang) very good, pleasing, excellent, interesting, fun, first-rate. Used to express acceptance, approval, admiration. The best way to say something is neat-o, awesome, or swell. The phrase "cool" is very relaxed, never goes out of style, and people will never laugh at you for using it, very convenient for people who don't care about what's "in."





        Her new tatoos are dynamite!
        Love them!
      • Dynamite (slang, informal) - something exceptionally exciting and very impressive or pleasing.
      Originally, from the movie, "a Requiem for a Dream" starring Jared Leto, Marlon Wayans, and Jennifer Connelly, it was reffered to buying and selling drugs, but CAN be used with other subjects. "Hey, I just sold my car, and got a new phone, let's go party!" - "Dynamite!!" (from Urban Dictionary)





      • Groovy (slang, informal, dated or humorous) - very pleasing; fashionably attractive; wonderful, highly stimulating, excellent, tubular, awesome, cool. Expresses strong approval, usually of enjoyable experiences. 
        'Did you see that new episode of Doctor Who?' - 'Yeah, it was pretty groovy.' 
        'Did you read Twilight?' - 'Yeah, it was not groovy. Not groovy at all.' 
        (British informal)
         - very chic.
      The term originated in the 1920s among early jazz musicians as their music was recorded in grooves on a record. It became most popular in the 1950s, and fell from favor by the mid 1960s.

      • Rad (informal, slang, chiefly North American) - fine, excellent; wonderful; impressive; extraordinary; chill; gnarly; very appealing
      That party was totally rad!
      Means really cool, but in a more subtle way. as opposed to extreme or awesome. One of the highest compliments you can give someone. Being rad is like being cool without having to work for it. It's like a natural coolness. "She seems quiet at first, but she's actually pretty rad when you get to know her". Still primarily used by people on the West Coast who find words like 'cool', 'awesome', and 'tight' to be tired and overused. 'Rad' is generally considered to be a much higher praise than the aforementioned superlatives. Also used as a general expression of awe. A 100% slang word from the 1980's, used mostly in the past by people from Generation-X (people born in the late 60's early 70's) to describe something that's cool. Apparently lots teens today are starting to use it as well. It's an abbreviation of 'radical' - a term made popular by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
      Your RADBALLS!!!


      • Radballs - something awesome, cool, super duper. Sometimes yelled to give your opinion on something you thought was cool. 
      Your radballs! - an expression used to show that you feel excited about something, totally stoked in every way.
      • K-rad literally means 1000 times rad, just as a kbyte or kilobyte refers to around 1000 bytes.
      K-rad was made popular in the 1980s by computer hacker circles. The word 'rad' referred to a radical act performed by a hacker which deserved congratulations. The term k-rad originated around the same time people started talking in numbers l1k3 th15. This type of language first started appearing on BBSes and FTP warez sites. I h4v3 +h3 m05+ 733+, k-r4d 5k1llz 0n th3 n3+!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I have the most leet, k-rad skillz on the net!)

      • Neat - (slang, spoken, mainly US & Canadian) An expression that means something is wonderful, terrific, excellent, great or cool. Either 1. you just don't care what the other person is saying or 2. you really do think it's GREAT.. AWESOME

      Today a popular use of the word neat is to mean "fine, splendid." It is a use that does not appear to have much in common with earlier meanings of the word such as "tidy".

          There are other circumstances in which a solo competitor might shout "Booyah!" as in the case of a perfectly thrown three point shot during a basketball game or the third strike against an opposing batter. Even people who score personal successes outside of the sports world have been known to use this exclamation after landing a lucrative business deal or other seemingly impossible task. The word seems to be the ideal shorthand to let others know about a personal success or good news.
          Fans of financial advisor Jim Cramer's television program should recognize the exclamation Booyah as one of his most popular catchphrases. (from wisegeek.org)

You can hear shouts of banzai coming from a Japanese sports team, an electoral victory party, or just a bunch of Shinjuku drunks. It's an all-purpose cheer, with or without any military overtones. Yay! Hurrah! Huzzah! Long Live the Queen (or whoever)! Hip Hip Hooray! GOOAAALLL! (from homejapan.com)

        "Banzai" can be translates as "Long life!" or "Hurrah!" It is usually repeated three times to express enthusiasm, celebrate a victory, applause and favor on happy occasion while raising both arms. It is commonly done together with the large group of people. (from about.com)

        • Bravo - used to express your pleasure when someone, especially a performer, has done something well.


        • Thumbs up/thumbs-up (informal) - an act, instance, or gesture of assent, approval, or the like. A reaction that shows you like something such as a plan or idea, or that you will accept it. Said when someone did something good. 'Thumbs up! You did a good job!'
        • Two thumbs up - to show that you think something is excellent.

        Two Thumbs Up was born out of a need to express and extreme delight in a situation / person / movie / music / etc. If something is good it gets a thumbs up. if something is indescribably brilliant - it gets a 'Two Thumbs Up'. But it's simply not good enough to just say the phrase - you must also physically represent the Two Thumbs Up in a strong motion with both hands. 



        American film critics Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel co-hosted a movie review program, At the Movies. The two had different tastes, and often verbally sparred and traded humorous barbs. When both critics gave the film a thumbs up, it was assumed that the film was very good.
