dialogue - What does "yippie ki yay" mean? - Movies & TV



In the movie Die Hard, John McClane (Bruce Willis) says the line "Yippie Ki Yay".




What does this mean?


Answer



First time John McClane uses that term in the Die Hard series is when he speaks to Hans on walkie talkie. When Hans was asking him if he was another American cowboy inspired by John Wayne and then McClane says he is partial to Roy Rogers and ends his conversation with Yippie Kay Yay and swears after it.



The actual meaning of the phrase from the references I looked up means the phrase doesn't actually mean anything except it's used as reference to an exclamation used by Cowboys in the old times.
