I do it jokingly but I don't see anything wrong with it. Northerner by birth southerner for now.. I lived in Tennessee for a while and now living in Texas. Its just for fun like YEEHAW! Its actually all over the south not just Texas. I don't think its stereotypical its a southern thing and even in the north too We did that in Michigan even so I think its really all over the country. Even in Vegas I lived out there and knew people that yelled that out lol. |

Because they don't want you to mess with Texas. And if you DO mess with Texas, they will send you to the electric chair. |

It's a redneck thing and it's not exclusive to Texas. I live in Alabama and I hear white guys shout that all the time -- especially at NASCAR or Auburn/Alabama football games. |

Of course it's a stereotype, just like all texans aren't cowboys either... |

its just a texas thing
like florida some people say "papi"
new yorkers say drop f bombs all the time.
people from mass always refer to things as "wicked"
that car was wicked fast, my friend is wicked smart,
that food was wicked good
i could do this all day.

It's just a stereotype. It's like saying all texans like George Bush because he's from texas. To be quite honest there are cowboys and stuff but I have never ever heard them say YEE HAW. |

I've lived here my whole life and we don't run around saying "yee-haw". That is just a stereotype. How about you come VISIT and see what it's like here!!!!!!!!! And no, we don't all listen to country music either. =) |

Your stupid. OF COURSE THAT'S A STEREOTYPE! I never even said that before, I don't even think people say it at all anymore. Not all of Texas is country. We have some of the biggest cities in the U.S. I never even seen a person yell "yee-haw" on a horse. I have on;y seen a horse up close and in person like 2 times. Plus, Texas is not filled with so much red-necks or cowboys anymore. It's filled with a bunch of immigrants (mostly from Mexico), and some Hispanics that were already born in the U.S., white (rich) people and black people. |

Its a stereotype for the most part. Like someone else said it usually means the same as "Yahoo!" or "Woo Hoo!"
You mostly hear it in country bars on occasion or at a rodeo. The vast majority of Texans do not say it. And it is a left over phrase from the cowboy days like "Howdy". |

It has to do with a brain cell deficiency, YEE-HAW, means I remember that night mom! Let's do it again! |

Because they lack the intellect to express themselves with words that contain more than one syllable. |
