Yippee Ki Yay originates from the 19th century in the Western United States. I know it as an expression of excitement or joy. Example: While playing as cowboys, who might say Yippee Ki Yay as you (pretend to) ride off on your horse.
This screengrab is in reference to the line that is said in Die Hard movie(s). The father is claiming to say the last word in the movie catchphrase.
I was born in 92’ couple years after the movie. My dad was/is a fan of action films so I think it had a part in how I got my name.
