What ESACTLY is Selphie’s “bookaya”!?

It’s just a slang word, although anyone willing to challenge me on the technicality of the word may feel free to speak up and do so.

Basically, it means “YES!” or “I DID IT!” though it’s a word that can have similar positive meanings.

Yeah, like Eva said, I belive it’s akin to “WOOHOO!” or “YATTA!”

Yeah, it’s just like a catchphrase. Like Ali G and ‘Booyakasha!’ . . . I think \>.\>

I think its just a form of ‘Booya’. That’s what I always though it was. Correct me if I’m wrong. ^.^:noway:

I’m pretty sure it’s Ali G’s ‘Booyakasha!’ shortened down. It’s homie for ‘right on!’. Something like that anyway.
