I may be just out of it, but when did the word "Booyah" become popular. Was it something said before Kim Possible and they just put it in the show or was it something that they put in the show and it became popular later. Just curious.

Here is how Booyah became popular(according to wikipedia).
Booya, also spelled booyah, an interjection or catch phrase to indicate satisfaction or accomplishment. Stuart Scott of ESPN and Jim Cramer of Mad Money helped popularize the phrase, but its popularity is mainly attributed to the sitcom Hangin' With Mr. Cooper.

I believe it was Stuart Scott from ESPN who first made it famous.

Hey, isn't Life With Mr. Jiggy from Monkey Ninjas in Space a spoof of Hangin' with Mr. Cooper? Just wondering. It could be an allusion to it. |

I can't remember who it was and on what forum, but someone a while back ranted against Ron's using the phrase because it originally was to imitate the sound of a shotgun going off, and had urban gangster origins. Now, I can't say that info is true, but even if it is I think it's a silly reason to be against Ron's using the term.  |

I remember the first time I heard booyah was in The Emperor's New Groove. ;D That movie came out in 2000. Hmmmm....are any of these other booyahs earlier than that?

In 1995 had a band named Sweetbox a club hit with a track called "Booyah (Here We Go)".  |

It was used by Cyborg in both the Teen Titans comic (long before KP, 80's and maybe before) and cartoon (I'm not sure if it came out before KP or not).

I remember hearing it on a That's So Raven ep. Yeah, the one where Nikki was trying to get the front page, Raven had a vision, and Chelsea yelled out "BOO-YAH!!!" which made Raven fall. ;D When I saw that a looooooong time ago, I was absolutely sure that Boo-yah was made before KP.  Because my Mom and I used to wonder about it, too. |
