My dad used "yay-hoo" (in the plural) frequently to refer to a kind of 
people that he disliked and had some contempt for, and I always thought 
that that was a reference to the humanoid types from Gulliver's Travels, 
rather a primitive, nasty, violent, and unintelligent breed.  I thought 
that "yah-hoo" was the cowboy exclamation.  But my daughter corrects me 
so much, either way, including the yahoo.com, that I no longer have any 
certainty about how things _should_ be pronounced.
